they were *lying* when they were "worried" about Asian-American college applicants, and they are *lying* now when they're "worried" about "strivers." They do not want non-white people being in any way superior (or evident) to white people. that's it. that's the whole thing.

"Like a rotten fish, the flight of California’s elected Democrats from Prop 40 (tax on billionaires) stinks from the head: in this case, Gov. Gavin Newsom, whose political career has long been boosted by Silicon Valley fortunes." prospect.org/2026/10/06/c...
"Like a rotten fish, the flight of California’s elected Democrats from Prop 40 stinks from the head: in this case, Gov. Gavin Newsom, whose political career has long been boosted by Silicon Valley fortunes. Newsom’s reluctance to rile his past, present, and (he hopes) future funders seems to have trickled down to the ranks of the elected. His certain successor as governor, Xavier Becerra, has joined Newsom in opposition, as has Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. The mayor’s challenger in the upcoming midterm election, L.A. city council member Nithya Raman—an ostensible socialist who is a member of DSA, which has backed her candidacy—has taken no position on the measure. This puts her to the right of actual capitalist Tom Steyer, the billionaire progressive who sought the governorship in the state’s June primary.

Despite the measure’s heavy support from rank-and-file Democrats, the only other elected Democrat of note to back Prop 40 is Rep. Judy Chu, who represents L.A.’s San Gabriel Valley in Congress. Subtracting Chu and Khanna from the quavering pack, that leaves 41 California Democratic members of Congress who’ve either opposed the measure or have remained mum on the subject. (Well, I suppose, 40—the redoubtable Maxine Waters has made pro-40 comments, but has not issued an endorsement per se.)"
