@griffinlee415@MattMahanSJ Despite the early hopes of many of us, myself included, Mahan did not run as the common sense Democrat. He ran as the Democrat who hates Trump and ICE.
I voted for Hilton instead.
@CrisPerez_05 Mahan must have been confused. In the final two months, he moved left, away from the common sense lane, and focused on the "I hate Trump and ICE" lane.
A freeway size lane existed between Beccera and Hilton. Mahan just didn't go there.

And no one is doing anything.
@JonathanTurley CA is a deep blue state, and mechanisms which help Democrats are not going to seem concerning.
If R's were winning the long tail, we'd get rid of the long tail overnight.

@RonDeSantis The long tail of CA election results always trends Democratic.
Democratic politicians aren't much interested in getting rid of that long tail.
