Hey Mike, I'm ready to vote for you. However, there are all these other names on my ballot that I do not recognize. How about some endorsements for the other state offices? It would be a lot easier for you to get things done if you have allies around you, and I have no idea who those allies might be amongst those listed on the ballot.

We were just having a tangent thread on one of Thomas Sowell's tweets about this. Someone was arguing about how we are the wealthiest nation in the world. I will save you all the reasons why we are not really. Even though Italy is not on the list, it sounds like a heaven next to USA. But they do not squander their money on a large war apparatus like we do and gut their infrastructure. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/rankings/quality-of-life

Lebowski syndrome is apt. I hear it all the time, "It's all good, be kind, conquer fear." Well, no, it's not all good. Kindness does not stop a psychotic from stabbing you. And sometimes the bad vibe you get from someone will save your life, if you listen to your fear.

I would also like to know how people like Mike S or Chris Rufo survive in a totally leftist area! I just got yelled at by a neighbor when I told her that some vagrants stole books from her little library. She said it was probably because they couldn't get library cards. *sigh*

I like Mike...but I wish he would answer this question: How do we trust the judgement of someone who dismissed Trump's policies ( which were obviously working) and who voted for a near fifty-year tax and spend politician? (Biden)

I am inclined to vote for you for Governor but your focus on the homelessness crisis has left me wondering what your approach as Governor would be on a related problem that effects even more Californians every day: the housing crisis. You’ve written in the past about needing more infill and suburbs, but I’m wondering what sorts of measures you’d try to drive through the legislature. Would you support, for instance, the original SB 827? Or one of the versions of its slimmed down/less ambitious descendants SB 50?

Are you concerned we’re reaching maximum effective commuting distance (many have 2+ hour commutes to get to an affordable community). How will you overcome NIMBYism in rich high opportunity areas like Beverly Hills, Larchmont, Pasadena, the west side of SF, Palo Alto, etc, which forces higher income people to compete for homes in the only places they exist at an affordable price, namely lower income and minority communities?

A post or even simply tweet thread on your approach to addressing the housing (not homelessness) crisis would be hugely appreciated and I think go a long way in at least some circles. (Apologies if you’ve written something since you started the campaign on it and I missed it.) I live in DTLA and while I have to deal with homelessness every day, rent and housing prices are out of control. You shouldn’t have to make 6 figures to afford a place built in the last 30 years!

What is it about the Democrat party that you do support? And for those things, are you SURE that Republicans in general, i.e., the real Republican voters, not the captured-by-Big-Tech/Media expired-date ones, don't also support them?

Personally, I'm tired of political buzzwords. There is no "housing CRISIS", there is an "environmental lobbyist" crisis.

I do not live in Commiefornia, but since I don't want any more of your idiot liberal neighbors moving to my state next time I see one of your emails asking for money I'll send you some. I think you're gonna get your ass kicked but you are the only sane option. Which, is why you'll ask kicked as I am convinced nobody in CA is actually sane. Anyway I'd rather give you some money than give it to any of the losers in my own state. Good luck Mike.
