Do you vote Republican as a 'Republican voter always', or do you vote Republican as 'the lesser of two evils'?

Lesser of two evils. Especially in California, the Republican candidates are, in fact, the lesser of two evils - only slightly less liberal than their Democrat opponents. Twenty years ago, these Republicans would have been considered to the left of most of the Democratic Party.

If the Pubbies cut and run from this fight, will you turn out for them in 2022?

“in California, the Republican candidates are, in fact, the lesser of two evils - only slightly less liberal than their Democrat opponents.”

It’s worse than that. The national GOP forced Neel Kashkari on us in the 2014 governor’s race. Kashkari not only sounded like Obama on every non-economic issue, he voted for Obama twice.

Grassroots California conservatives backed Tim Donnelly in the primary. The national GOP responded by calling Donnelly every vile name that you can imagine in their campaign to keep him off of the ticket. They wanted the slot for Kashkari the Hindu Obama and they got it. He didn’t even rate “the lesser of two evils”.
