Man we have way too many people on the ballot at it is, all you need is $3k. I mean, literally anyone runs, I was reading the booklet and there’s even a guy named LivingForGod AndCountry, a Barack Obama, and some very deranged conspiracy theory guy who earned a little asterisk saying his views don’t represent the office.
The problem is, without big money, nobody stands out. You can’t just rally for some rando-- they’re already trying that, and it doesn’t work. CA Governor Primary is one of those situations where it was well intended but in execution it falls apart, especially after Citizens United.
