Except de Leon carried the red districts. Not Feinstein.
- newacct583 6y agoI didn't say she carried all the republicans, just that she carried enough of them to put her above any of the more "typical" democratic candidates you'd expect to see from a state with the demographics of California. You can't feasibly elect a progressive with a non-partisan election, even in California.
