Dig a hole.
You're going to dig your holes in 2041.
The hope.
The hope.
was that if they could get this approved, you can unlock some funding and start construction sooner.
That's what this fight was about.
It was the possibility of maybe, if everything goes right, building before 2041.
This is why I'm incensed about it.
This is why I'm bothered by it.
And we need more people to get in it here in Los Angeles.
Right now in polling, we do this jungle primary out here where top two go on to the general.
And there's a legitimate possibility right now that the top two finishers will be the Republicans.
I think that the California Democratic Party deserves it, but I don't think it's worth giving them the pain because we'll all have to live through it.
Katie Porter, Swalwell, Steyer are basically kind of in a different category than all the other candidates that are polling in single digits below them.
The question is when those candidates will start dropping out.
Their names are already going to be on the ballot.
because none of them dropped out in time to have their names not be on the ballot.
People are going to start getting their ballots, I think May 3rd, May 4th, May 5th, something like that.
And these people need to drop out and endorse because what California should really have is two Democrats duking it out in the general, because that's what the majority of voters are going to be deciding anyway.
