Sadly, I agree.

We have a bunch of idiots in CA but I think Ro Khanna impresses me with some of his ideas such as taxing corporations extra to pay for the government welfare (from food stamps to ACA subsidies) their employees consume. He went after Bezos (who is outside CA while Khanna is a Silicon Valley politician) who eventually raised the min wage at Amazon to $16 I think.

Ro Khanna - Wikipedia

He worked for AOC, Obama, and a big tech law firm Wilson Sonsini and lectured at Stanford so no dummy. I hammer some of his overly progressive ideas on X with replies but others are worth looking into.

I've heard some talk he might be more appealing as the Democrat's "anti Trump" candidate to take on Vance/Rubio or whomever Trump backs in the next election.

Given his background and sacrifices his parents made for him, I think he understands that hard work and capitalism are musts, but the system itself is broken and the huge scale of the large companies makes it difficult for anyone to fix, much like the US has become a "company town" with several large private corporations sharing the spoils with "Big Government".

It just blows me away to see the salaries we pay "government servants" in the cities that are falling apart due to the high cost of paying for those workers and their lavish pensions. It could lead one to believe big government is in collusion with big business to keep both highly paid while keeping the peons at bay... but we see that by the high prices to live in cities near Washington DC where lobbyists live.
