I hear Kamala Harris may be looking for a new gig. How about NOT running for President again (no, no, no, no, no sirree Bob, no) and throwing her hat in the ring for Governor instead?
Absolutely! Why doesn't California use RCV? It's a no-brainer. The candidate who get over 50% of the vote wins, period. You can choose your favorite, then second favorite, etc. It works as an instant runoff and majority, NOT PLURALITY, wins.
Oath Keepers: “They stand for protecting the constitution.”
Saying "Oath Keepers" stands for protecting the Constitution is like saying Jeffrey Epstein is "kid-friendly". Chad Bianco failed his Oath when he supported a bunch of right-wing MAGATS like the Q-anon Shaman and other idiots as they attacked Congress and tried to overturn an American election. Bianco still hasn't stopped lying; he's still claiming Trump won the 2020 election. He betrayed his Oath. In any other American era, Bianco would be so far back in jail you'd have to pump air to him.
Steyer is my choice. He checks all the boxes. And he can win. That’s what matters here. Democrats still haven’t learned that winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.
His 5 Rights Platform:
The Right to Clean Air and Clean Water: Everyone deserves to breathe fresh air and drink clean water, free from industrial poisons.
The Right to Learn: Protection of the right to a free, quality, public education, from preschool through college and skills training.
The Right to a Living Wage: Ensuring all workers earn enough to support themselves and their families.
The Right to Health Care: Guaranteeing access to quality, affordable healthcare.
The Right to an Equal Vote: Ensuring that every citizen has an equal voice in our democracy.
Survey USA, the most recent poll and rated by 538 as A+, has new results that are very different. Steyer is at 21, 3 points ahead of Hilton, Bianco at 8, tied with Porter. And 80% of the polling was before Swalwell dropped out, and he got 9 %.
I appreciate your take on the perils of the top two system, and certainly would support ranked choice, to avoid what looked like a real possibility of two Republicans coming out ahead. Looks like we've dodged the bullet this time, with Steyer's environmental and populist credentials, plus his ability to fund a big campaign. Sorry that Becerra doesn't have more support, and I wouldn't vote for Mahan, given his tech bro backers.

Great idea!
This would be a perfect environment for ranked choice voting.

Sure; why wouldn't another billionaire just be ideal? I'm sure he will do all of those things he says.
