Near the end of this clip, Eric Swalwell says "California is the greatest country in the world and is under attack."
Misspeak or not, a Governor who sees California not merely as one of 50 states underneath a powerful federal Government, but as the Republic of California deserving maximal autonomy would win me over.
As Trump and MAGAs treat us like garbage, I want to see maximal autonomy for California, Pacifica, and the other blue states.
