We need a wave of competent people to stand up and push back. 

It can’t just be a handful of folks like @RickCarusoLA. 

Some of the most competent people I know, who have the intellect, leadership ability, and resources to do the job want absolutely nothing to do with it. 

They don’t want that one embarrassing moment or lapse in judgment to be dug up and made public. 

They don’t want to give up a career they’re good at and settled in to be the one person to try and change a hornets nest of incompetence and grift. 

We need to form a coalition, similar to the one that was formed around Trump, of competent and capable, patriotic Californians who can band together to clean house. 

If you spend an afternoon in Sacramento or walk the halls of City Hall in Downtown LA you quickly get a sense for how dysfunctional and crony it is. 

Chamath, would you put your hat in the ring to build that coalition? Can we identify a broad stable of competent and experienced leadership and build an apparatus to dethrone the California establishment? To unearth all of the long-tailed corruption and grift from San Diego to Redding? 

California’s would be much better off for it, but it will take a village of people willing to step into the breach, fight Cluster B personalities with entrenched power, and not take no for an answer. 

One governor candidate or one mayoral candidate won’t move the needle.

We need to replace the Board Of Supervisors in LA. We need a competent Secretary of State. A razor sharp DA to run a @nayibbukele style internal corruption review, where not one person can pull strings to hide. 

We need city counsel members who have impeccable integrity. 

We need to push mass recalls and well curated re-election campaigns with well primed candidates. 

We need a DOGE style state apparatus, which can start re-informing the California citizenry with the truth, so they can make informed decisions about policy. 

If not now, when?
