@hawgs1239 @TomHQ @TomSteyer ngl he’d probably be able to get it passed because he’d only be targeting the commercial property tax part of prop 13, CA voters are so “tax the rich” focused that if that specific amendment to prop 13 gets proposed it’ll probably pass

@TomHQ @TomSteyer LOL You won't be "calling" for anything. You can start collecting signatures to put a change to Prop 13 on the next ballot. The protections of Prop 13 aren't a loophole. They're in the state constitution to keep greedy clowns like you at bay.

⁨.@TomSteyer: On day one, I will call a special election to close a corporate real estate tax loophole worth over $20 billion to the state of California. So when we're talking about a new housing facility, it won’t be an unfunded liability — it will be a funded mandate. And we can then work with the cities and counties and they can stop dragging their feet.⁩

@Palla003 @HoodiCastle @SanJoseSharks well Werenski would be someone I’d look at if he’d wave his no-move cuz the Blue Jackets prob won’t be good for awhile cuz they’re stuck right now in the mediocrity cycle

@PikachugXD @HoodiCastle @SanJoseSharks Who you can think Of?

Smiling through it all. 😃 #NewProfilePic

@Palla003 @HoodiCastle @SanJoseSharks take stenberg, trade the 20th pick + eklund for a d-man with an expiring contract next season that doesn’t want to stay where they’re at

@HoodiCastle @SanJoseSharks Why Stenberg? You need a star dmen

@dcinsb @JordanUhl not me, nice that you didn’t realize that this was just a continuation of the previous tweet bc I reached character limit

@PikachugXD @JordanUhl Who the fuck is voting for trump you fucking weirdo.

Feels like Xavier Becerra saying “I need Chevron” in defense of taking the legal maximum amount for a direct corporate campaign donation will become the defining quote of his campaign:

@dcinsb @JordanUhl yes I’m fs just a bernie bro and totally didn’t vote in the singular presidential election I was able to vote in so far for Harris

@PikachugXD @JordanUhl That is a whole ass fantasy you came up with. But also a confession that you like the billionaire because you’re a bitter BernieBro and think you’re exacting revenge for Hillary, Biden, and Harris.

@dcinsb @JordanUhl tbh experience realistically doesn’t matter to me as much as individual policies do, the plan to basically kill PG&E and potentially support municipal run utilities + drastically upzone by taking power from NIMBYs to build more housing is far more important to me than experience

@PikachugXD @JordanUhl No, I support Becerra because I hate unqualified billionaires trying to buy office. Especially the one that affects me the most.

@dcinsb @JordanUhl Trump was way worse on

@dcinsb @JordanUhl you just support Becerra because you want a more moderate dem as governor and hate the lefties and are partially polarized against him bc u kinda somewhat rightly feel that some of the Bernie ppl who are supporting Steyer cost Kamala 2024 by sitting out over an issue that…

@dcinsb @JordanUhl he’s given quite a bit of money away, not all of it but he’s already given almost a billion towards climate and housing, mb for trusting someone who is entirely divested now vs someone who still thinks it’s ok to take fossil fuel money in 2026 bc “California needs Chevron”

@PikachugXD @JordanUhl He didn’t give away the money, he invested in other things and uses all of those profits from all of those dirty investments to fund his campaigns and lifestyle.

@dcinsb @JordanUhl the profits he made 15 years ago from stocks he’s now divested from are more controlling than the money becerra is taking right now? LOL

@JordanUhl Feels like it’s pennies compared to the $150 million the billionaire has spent from his gas & oil profits.

@Slayer033178 @JNeoMarvin @MotorolaManny most poor people also don’t have the time to get the means-tested exemptions bc they’re too busy doing their manual labor jobs

@Slayer033178 @JNeoMarvin @MotorolaManny I’m pro voter id(depending on the form, has to be accessible for free to all citizens), I’m anti-save act bc it essentially acts as a law that sets an income minimum on voting because most poor people wouldn’t be able to get the id due to the prohibitive cost

The worst people in California seem really threatened by Steyer. That feels like a sign he’s on to something.

@96hoya @SheldonforRI @TomSteyer @grok you do realize the loopholes that he used are at a federal level not a state level, how tf do you close federal loopholes from a state level office or is this supposed to be a thought terminating cliche?

@SheldonforRI @TomSteyer You have to love a guy that wants to close tax loopholes on billionaires, and yet not the ones that he exploited to become rich. Classy! @grok fact check this.

Why I Endorsed @TomSteyer. California is a long way from Rhode Island, but it shares our vulnerability to climate upheaval. As the world’s fourth largest economy, California also has huge throw-weight in climate solutions.

@dnptwit @TomSteyer taxes in California are already super high and esp when SALT deductions are gone now it makes stuff impossible

@dnptwit @TomSteyer the issue is that it would be prohibitively expensive to do single payer at a state level unless you get a voucher from the feds to use your medicare and medicaid funds to expand it to single-payer at a state level

At some point we have to accept health care "reform" is not the answer. Single payer is the answer.

@ayrshire54 @TomSteyer also we’d focus on more preventative care to prevent the issue from getting so bad in the first place

@ayrshire54 @TomSteyer the thing about single-payer is that it doesn’t have to consider profits so you wouldn’t be denied unless it’s something actually unnecessary, what would probably happen though is that depending on urgency there would probably be wait times

@hyperionca @averywlittle @umichvoter a lot of the average being raised is increasing taxes on the wealthy(which includes himself)

@hyperionca @averywlittle @umichvoter conveniently omits the information that the average also includes ppl within the 1% who republicans seem to believe don’t deserve to be taxed as high bc they “pay the largest share of taxes in the nation by a lot” when they also have the most money to give

The next favorite to be the governor of California
