    Lee should drop out for two reasons. She’s splitting the progressive vote with Porter, which benefits Schiff. And she’s 77 years old. California and the country were outraged that Feinstien didn’t have the dignity or class to resign prior to her death. And for some reason Lee thinks now, at nearly 80, is the time to begin a new path of public service.

    “The progressive movement has followed this race with growing unease,” said a prominent progressive operative who spoke candidly on condition of anonymity. “The polling suggests both Lee and Porter are splitting the same voting bloc and could allow Adam Schiff — a white straight man without much of a progressive record to run on — to avoid a one-on-one matchup with a formidable, tested progressive in deep blue California. National progressives need to coalesce behind the most viable progressive candidate ASAP and the candidate with the toughest path needs to step aside for the good of the movement.”

    What a good time to donate to the Katie Porter campaign. Or even volunteer, if you live in Cali and have the time.
