USC cancelled a California gubernatorial debate at the last minute - not because of logistics, not because of scheduling conflicts, but because all six qualifying candidates are white. The two non-white candidates simply don't poll high enough to make the stage, which is how every debate works, but apparently standard qualifying criteria is now racist. From there, it's a breakdown of how California's top-two primary system could actually result in Democrats getting locked out of the general election entirely — and why the crowded Democrat field refusing to consolidate might be the best thing to happen to California Republicans in decades.
