California Primary is June 5. Received my sample ballot a couple of days ago and my concerns

[politicaljunkie41910]

are as follows:
With so many Dems running, I think we're in serious trouble of diluting the votes in some of the statewide races.

For Governor we have 27 candidates.
12 Dems
5 Repubs
5 No Party Preference (NPP)
2 Libertarians
2 Green
1 Peace and Freedom Party

Lieutenant Gov
4 Dems
4 Repubs
2 NPP
1 Libertarian

US Senator 32 Candidates
10 Dems
11 Repubs
9 NPP
1 Libertarian
1 Peace and Freedom

US Representative
4 Dems
1 Repub (Incumbent)



Now I live in an area in Northern Los Angeles County which has always had a Republican Representative though the number of Dems in our area are increasing but I don't think we're there yet; but I'm hopeful. I'm more concerned about the U.S. Senate race as Diane Feinstein's name is the only Dem's name on the ballot that I recognize for a Statewide office, and I have seen no advertising by any of the other Dem candidates either by mail, or on TV. I know I have heard on this website a lot of negative talk that people didn't want Feinstein to run and they were not going to support her. A lot of people vote early by mail so any Dems running need to be out there introducing themselves, or on local TV or the Radio. I haven't heard any of them on neither.

1. 3...2...1...go........dems shoot the party and the country in the foot.

Are dems so self absorbed and selfish that they can't do what is right for the country? There should be, at the most, 2 dems running in each district.

2. Hence the problem with jungle primaries.

A district that's clearly blue ends up red because the Democratic vote ends up getting split between 6 different candidates because they have too much pride to rally around one candidate, while the two Republicans running get full support of their voters and end up both placing in the top 2 in the primary.

3. I'm concerned a literal Nazi is running on Republican side for Senate

If Dems split vote too much we could end up with only Republicans on ballot. I think Feinstein needs to drop out

4. I think generally the anti Feinstein folks here can't vote for or against her.
