19. My vote was purely strategic

I voted for the person who was ahead in the polls last week. That happened to be Becerra. I did not want to see two Republicans on the ballot in November. I doubt either Becerra or Steyer can do some of the things they are running on anyway.

I want to see a Becerra/Steyer match in November. Then I’ll vote for whoever is putting out the fewer mudslinging misleading ads. I’ve done my best to ignore the mudslinging so far. It’s really offensive.
