"The candidates were asked if they would support a ban on social media for kids under age 16. This is a quickly accelerating idea not beloved by tech companies."
"Why start with fashion? Honestly, it might be the most interesting, and telling, bit of insight that came from this first chance for our next governor to let us know who they are."
"If the debate showed us anything, it's that none of these candidates are hiding follow-me charisma or an excitement-inducing political vision for our collective future."
The first gubernatorial debate revealed candidates' casual attire, with one wearing Nikes and another sporting a scruffy beard. This lack of formality mirrored their unremarkable performances, lacking charisma and compelling visions. While some jabs were exchanged, they were predictable and uninspiring. A notable moment arose when candidates discussed a potential ban on social media for minors, a topic gaining traction globally. Overall, the debate failed to excite or engage voters, highlighting a lack of standout candidates in California's political scene.
