Between Harris and Newsom, the Democrats are going to change this state irreparably over the next several years. These people are as far left as you can get. I see no Republican on the horizon that can be elected to a state wide office. They say it is darkest before the dawn. I hope so. God help us.
Weirdly enough, this is good news in San Francisco, as she was the leading contender to replace Newsom, who is seen as sane and pro-business by SF standards. Harris, on the other hand, was seen as a hopeless ideological idiot.
If SF gets someone better than K.Harris (big if), maybe San Francisco will gain by this at the expense of the State.
We have a different version of that quote here in CA;
It always gets darkest, just before the lights go totally out.
There is always the option of recall, if the people of this staate have the stomach for it.
