For much of the past two weeks, he was in a three-way tie for lead Democrat in the race, along with Katie Porter and Tom Steyer, all of whom trailed the two Republican candidates, Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco, raising concerns among Democrats that the two Republicans could take the top two spots in the June 2 primary election, advance to November and lock Democrats out of the governor's seat.

No. I don't.
As of yesterday, the RCP aggregate of the polling showed the following:
Hilton (R): 14.7%
Swalwell (D): 13.7%
Bianco (R): 13.0%
Porter (D): 11.3%
Steyer (D) 10.3%
For about a month, the Repbulicans had been in 1st and 2nd place most of the time, with Swalwell bouncing in and out of 2nd place too.
The ONLY chance a Republican had of winning California was for the vote to remain split on Democrats long enough for both Republicans to take 1st and 2nd place, because there isn't a chance in hell either of them will win against a Democrat in the General.
Ruining Swalwell's life for telling them to fuck off when they wanted him to drop out of the race for somebody less white and/or male will ensure that a Democrat wins in the General now.
None of that 13.7% is going to a Republican.
Let's say 5% goes to Porter, 5% goes to Steyer and 3% goes to Becerra.
Now both Porter and Steyer win 1st and 2nd place and a Republican doesn't even place.
Sure... There's a chance that either Hilton or Bianco will drop out and their votes will be pooled with the remaining candidate and they could take 1st place, but that doesn't matter.
Knocking Swalwell out of the race leads to an easy Democrat victory in the General.
So, congratulations.
I hope you're proud of yourselves.

Another part of Eric Swalwell's legacy is the end of Gonzales' political career:
Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales of Texas announced Monday he is stepping down as he faces an expulsion vote in the coming days stemming from his affair with a staffer who later died by suicide. Sexual misconduct allegations against Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California renewed attention on Gonzales' behavior.

Yeah... My old man told me about that today. I'd never heard of him until now.
That's some bullshit too.
And if you really are a Boomer, you should agree with me on that. 40 years ago nobody thought twice about dating and/or just fucking co-workers, bosses or subordinates. That was decades of Leftists talking points and Six Sigma that changed everyone's perception on it. Even at my last good job, there were people who had already been there a long time who would tell me how many people, especially on the night shift were fucking in the building. This was a pure office setting, at a company who had to turn over accurate data to the FED every night by 3AM or they got fined $50k per hour for every hour it was late... so we're not talking about some small ma and pa place either.
Sounds like everyone is talking about her suicide in the same breath as they talk about he was fucking her. Has anybody proven or even alleged that their relationship led to her death? Or is this more gross behavior by the Legacy Media and a bunch of human beings that don't know how to mind their own fucking business?
I'm seriously asking, because I'm not going to look into it.

Quote:Back in the 19th Century, the Legacy Media was blamed for starting a war. Uncle Tom's Cabin was famously banned in the Southern US before the Civil War for its anti-slavery message because of its portrayal of slavery's cruelty and its pro-abolitionist stance. Since that book did not persuade slave-owners that their way of life was evil, Generals William T. Sherman and U. S. Grant used stronger methods. There is an even older book, the Bible, that portrays adultery and fornication as evil. Since that book did not persuade Swalwell or Gonzales that their way of life is evil, Congress is using stronger methods.

Quote:Swift Swalwell Fallout Suggests the Democrats Have Finally Learned From Epstein

Be Evil. Be a dick.
The former representative’s rapid collapse over sexual assault allegations signals that Democrats have gotten the message: Voters see accountability for abuse as a key electoral issue.
By Jessica Washington | April 14 2026, 5:34 p.m.

ations-midterms-epstein/
Sexual assault allegations leveled against former Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., stood out for their lurid detail — and because the fallout was unusually swift.
Within hours after the San Francisco Chronicle dropped a story Friday that accused Swalwell of sexually assaulting a former staffer, over a dozen Democrats had pulled their endorsements of the then-frontrunner for governor of California. CNN followed that evening with a story labeling the former staffer’s accusations as rape and revealing that three additional women were accusing Swalwell of sexual misconduct. He suspended his campaign for governor Sunday, and on Monday, he announced his resignation from Congress. He was out Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET.
The outcry made sense, in part, because of the severity of the allegations: The ex-staffer said Swalwell left her vaginally bruised and bleeding; another woman alleged Tuesday that he had drugged her in order to rape her. But the fact that Swalwell, who has denied the allegations, did not remain in Congress while under investigation suggests that American politicians are sensitive to concerns over sexual abuse and misconduct — particularly as the midterms approach against the backdrop of the Epstein files, and Democrats position themselves as defenders of victims as they head into November.
“It’s hypocrisy if they don’t” speak out, said Nina Smith, a Democratic communications strategist and former senior adviser to former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams.
Smith said that the advocacy from Epstein’s survivors, as well as the people who’ve been speaking out online about Swalwell, helped force lawmakers to take a stand on this issue.
“It has created this watershed moment on the Democrats’ part to address this issue quickly,” she told The Intercept. “Both parties are recognizing that accountability is something that is at the forefront of a lot of voters’ minds.”
In a February poll from Reuters/Ipsos, 69 percent of respondents said the statement that the Epstein files “show that powerful people in the U.S are rarely held accountable for their actions” represented their views “very well” or “extremely well.”
Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa., said that Democrats have to demonstrate “accountability” even when allegations come up against one of their own.
“The work and bravery of Epstein’s survivors helped expose just how deeply these systems are failing us.”
“Our job is to center the people who were harmed, to take allegations seriously, and to make sure there are real systems for justice,” Lee wrote in a statement to The Intercept. “The work and bravery of Epstein’s survivors helped further expose just how deeply these systems are failing us — all while protecting perpetrators with money, connections, or status. That legacy demands more from all of us right now.”
Still, it’s too soon for Democratic leadership “to be patting themselves on the back,” about Swalwell’s swift rebuke, said Michael Ceraso, a Democratic communications strategist who worked on Pete Buttigieg’s presidential campaign. He pointed to the level of detail and corroboration in the stories that CNN and the SF Chronicle published, arguing the careful reporting “made it fail-safe for political leaders to do the right thing.”
And that doesn’t excuse the people who had heard the rumors and continued to support Swalwell until the allegations were in a newspaper, Ceraso added. “I would call bullshit on people” within his proximity who are “claiming they d

Well... If this is how you feel, you better damned well demand that he see a lengthy prison sentence for it too.
But we know you won't do that, will you?
I don't know whether I was right and you're on board with this just so California can have another Democratic Party governor, or just to spite me.
And I don't care.
You are cancer.
