Alex Padilla will be the 1st Latino to represent California in the US Senate

What white heterosexual male would you have chosen?

i remember during the primary centrists were saying that's exactly the type of person the dems needed to nominate.

Who's this person and why does their opinion matter?

Stuff like this is why the Democratic Party is at a disadvantage compared to the GOP. The Dems have a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-religious coalition. Dems can't make everyone happy. Some groups will always feel alienated or excluded over some decisions.

You're the one blaming idpol for selecting a Latino

The governor had to make an appointment.

exactly why he should've appointed barbara lee and let the seat go up for election in two years

 

[duncanthetall]

Doesn't bother me....this is a tactical move designed to help where the Dems have lost some steam in the past cycle, ie. the Latino and Hispanic vote

Yep. We gotta step up more in the south. SC and NC we need to get better politicians in those states. We should be able to put up similar turnout like in GA. Mexicans can have the seat long as they hold it down. It’s inevitable anyways

Some Blaxican law school graduates are being groomed to run for office in the future, right now.

2 birds, one stone.

Barbara Lee is a progressive. According to HL, all progressives are white Bernie Bros.

Thanks. Her criticisms hold some weight.

The AG and Sec. of State for Cali seats are now empty. Perhaps the governor will select one of the Senator short list candidates to one of those positions.
