5. I don't live in California

but I think I would rather pick between 2 Democrats instead of Democrat or a Republican because there is realistically only 1 choice from my point of view.

That said I was never on the Steyer bandwagon despite a lot of the Youtube hosts I watch were pushing him. He is a big donor turned politician. I was actually surprised he was polling well in the lead-up to the South Carolina primary until Biden crushed him out of the race but he did run a lot of ads. I was surprised again when he polled well in California as those 2 states are very different politics wise. Also what happened to Need to Impeach? (his ad campaign from Trump's first term)
