6. Happily for us, review of their VOTING RECORDS shows

strong progressive similarities between the three.

Yes, they style themselves VERY differently, but they HAVE to differentiate themselves for electoral purposes. To create a critical first impression they can win on, then keep hammering it home. By far most people take a liking to a candidate from a campaign commercial, likely solidified by extremely carefully rehearsed performance at a debate.

They don't pull up their voting records and histories to scrutinize.

But in this case, there's no ideological lose here. With all that's scary and uncertain elsewhere, we're going to have a new strong, liberal progressive senator from California in 2025.

Now, if we could choose, which would be best? Time to look at other requirements: For me dependably outstanding character, judgement, and competence are musts.
