CA has only elected democratic (vaguely to the left of the median Democrat, if fairly rank-and-file) senators since 1992. As long as she didn’t leave it to chance and die during her term (…) while she coincided with the honestly fairly moderate-but-still-republican Gov Schwarzenegger, she could have had a hand in picking her replacement.
As others (including myself) have noted, any Democrat-led SCOTUS nomination or major piece of Dem legislation would have passed more-or-less the same. I’d be curious if there was some analysis of where a particular Dem Senator from CA was a “swing vote”. Meanwhile now we’re in a vacancy and her missing vote definitely matters (again, thankfully likely with less impact than RBG’s).
Ehhh… The Java edition has had more than one dude working on it for a long time. It’s not like MS bought it and tossed the code in a vault.
I play both pretty evenly, and while bedrock isn’t as bad as people say it is (anymore?), Java is still probably the answer.
That said, they’re both fuckin maddening to admin.
