AS IF CA doesn’t have enough problems! Will the people understand what has happened and will continue to happen to that once great state - my former home for 50+ years and my husband’s birth state.

and our party facing billions in corporate money this fall,

Any corporation giving money to the Dems is a fool. You will be nationalized in time and any riches the board, CEO, and chief officers get from such a takeover will eventually be redistributed. You will not get to enjoy your golden years in wealth and luxury. The Marxist will make sure of that if they take over.
