- Day
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you're trying to understand why it is that certain things happen in Sacramento and certain things don't, at the end of the day, it comes down to the issue of incentives: We do what we're incentivized to do.

Founders Den provides the kind of collaborative and creative atmosphere to foster new ideas not only for emerging new businesses, but government as well.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Even if Donald Trump's successful, it's the beginning of the end if this rhetoric persists in the Republican Party.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The kind of cynical politics of divide and conquer, that's shameful stuff, and I don't know - people live their life like that, but I don't know how they look back and feel good about themselves.
- Obama
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
No-Drama Obama? Yeah, that's not me.
- Damn Thing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- People
- |

People don't care anymore because they don't believe in us; they don't trust us. And that's why we should change politics, not just accept the cynical frame that, 'Well, that's just politics.'
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you distill the essence of everything, what life is about, every single one of us is given a short moment in time on this planet, and we all have one universal need and desire, and that is to be loved and to love.

- |

Since Sandy Hook, I have sat back as a father and been mesmerized by the inability of the federal government to do anything substantively on gun safety.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Good people can disagree.
- Equal
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Separate is not equal. Civil unions are civil unions. Marriage is marriage. They're different institutions.
- Difficult
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It was difficult to realize, 'I'm lieutenant governor.' And Brown appropriately reminded me of that.
- Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The question for politicians here is fundamental: You can read the polls, or you can change the polls. Stand up on the things you believe in.
- Economy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The economy is not immutable; it's not about natural laws. It's about rules, and we make the rules.
- Country
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If, in this country, a simple majority of people can start stripping away the rights of a protected class in the minority, that's a pretty alarming thing.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Prop 8 did something that no other state in the history of this country has done. It took away the rights of people that already were legally affirmed. Imagine someone putting something on the ballot saying your wedding, your marriage is no longer valid.
- Marriage
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Separate inherently is not equal. There's a reason why $45 million was spent against marriage equality. It's because people understand the word does have meaning. And equality comes when we accept the same notions and the same institutions for everyone, regardless of race and gender and regardless of sex orientation.
- Fight
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People don't have to agree with me. They can say, 'My gosh, I can't believe I'm listening to this guy. I can't disagree with him more.' But at least they know that I'm going to fight for things that I believe in. And I don't need to be in formal office to do that.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There was a lot of hype about social media in President Obama's first campaign. It was important, but it wasn't as important as I think people let on.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I really feel it's time to dissolve the current relationship of governor and lieutenant governor by running as a ticket.
- Independent
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've never been a fan of pretense or procrastination. After all, our state is defined by its independent, outspoken spirit.
- Californians
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When Californians see something we truly believe in, we say so and act accordingly - without evasiveness or equivocation.
- Better
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't know many better training grounds than being mayor of San Francisco - those were pretty intense years in terms of reporting and scrutiny.
- Negotiate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I will negotiate with my worst enemy.
- Fight
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If we continue to fight the National Rifle Association on their home court, which is the legislative front, I think we'll continue to be frustrated. But when you have an ability to go directly to the public, that's a completely different field of engagement, and I think the NRA is not adept at that kind of engagement.
- Mistake
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A mistake that a lot of us have made, related to those who advocate for gun safety legislation, is that we try to process it through our legislative bodies, and that's where the NRA's strength lies.
- Gun
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's been a gap between perception and reality, the perception being that California is on the cutting edge of gun safety legislation when, in fact, there are a number of areas where we have fallen behind.
- He
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Even though he's a third-generation San Franciscan, my father's very European in some ways, and he loves wine.
- Perfect
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think Thanksgiving is the perfect occasion to break open a buttery, oaky Chardonnay from California.
- Constitution
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The whole idea that the Constitution of the United States would be used to advance a political agenda is absurd.
- My Own
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have differences of opinion within my own family, an Irish Catholic family. So, I do respect those that disagree.
- Community
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The people that are serving you gas, the people that are in your restaurants serving you, the firefighters, and police officers are members of the gay and lesbian community. They're members of our broader community.
- Want
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not a pundit. I don't want to be a pundit.
