She ran herself, from my understanding, on a shoestring budget and with the help of community activists, against a do-nothing Dem who couldn't be bothered to do any campaigning. I can understand why she drifted to the Dems, because otherwise, she would've been completely shut out of the committees and decision-making in Sacramento, but this is something to be remedied by an independent Left party. The long-term goal would be to attract honest Dems to drift to some sort of Green-Labor alliance.
