Yup, you're preaching to the choir. Biden doesn't have to worry about CA, and I'd bet my salary on it. Some states are closer to swing states than others, and it would make most sense to focus on those. CA is not one of those states when it comes to presidential elections.

Maybe, 20 years down the road, it will be a different story, but not this time.
