Welp, I voted for Steyer.
This was a 51/49 thing for me (over Becerra).
My vote doesn't exactly fill me with joy. Don't love the guy's background (to put it mildly). Don't love the vibe. But I think he's *slightly* better on a couple of issues that matter to me (environment and trans rights).
🤷♂️
Science has not yet invented the instrument sensitive enough to measure how little sleep I will lose if Steyer doesn't make a late comeback to finish in top 2.
But oof. Becerra and the whole Democratic field here is just so uninspiring. Where are the younger, sharper, more charismatic progressives?
We are awash in corporate interests and poll-driven platitudes.
One of the challenges of being a chair—even of a small program—is that you really can't "unplug" from the university over the summer. Just a constant drip drip drip of time-sensitive matters that require action.
Not a complaint¹ but an observation.

¹ kind of a complaint tho
