I cannot believe a lawsuit would not be filed against one party controlling a ballot by means of top vote getters. That is not a democracy but a monopoly the same a the communist party does in certain countries like North Korea. Is that what california has become?

Casting empty ballots is our only recourse here since it's an official one party state. You can't do that in Cuba but you can do that here. A few million blank ballots cast will garner unwanted attention. "Why do so many bother to cast a ballot but they do not vote"?
California is Cuba with newer cars. I'm surprized the tiny amount of right wing media doesn't show this to the rest of this country. Most living out of this state would be surprized to learn California is an official one party state like our communist neighbor. |

LMAO! Probably true. In that case it will be Gruesome Newsome. Tony V doesn't know how to tie his own shoes. What a choice.

Is it still possible to write in candidates ? If so that could give an element of satisfaction for us.
Let's face it neither the swamp media or democrat party will notice or care whatever we do short of getting a republican on the ballot. |

By the way, you will have numerous bond issues to vote on. Vote against all of them. California Democrats have ramped up Calif.'s debt load and want to ramp it up more. These will all sound good.....more water, more for education, etc. but they're hiding broken budgets and failure to fix government employee/retiree entitlements. They've also ramped up Medicaid (MediCal?) way, way beyond poverty levels, benefits for illegals, etc.
You must vote against all bond issues, even local. We must starve the beast.

Yes; it's like boiling a frog. By the time the frog realizes it, it's too late. Besides, too many voters are simply ignorant of fiscal matters; they think someone or something else is going to pay, so therefor bonds are harmless.

Don't Be Fooled By Fake News
Despite what the Media is claiming, although the Demorats are occupying most all CA Offices, there are still millions of Conservative Voters here in CA.
It's hard to tell from the Fake News, but the Demorats must still be sweating the details here in CA, or they would not be pushing the Vote for Illegal Immigrants, and trying to stop any investigation into Illegal Voting. Conservative Voters need to rally around a limited number of conservative candidates for offices. We shot ourselves in the feet this last election with the pot full of candidates for Senate. The Demorats laughed themselves silly when they saw nine Republicans running for one Senate Position, against two Demorats. Dividing the smaller number of registered Conservatives by nine candidates, and of course there wasn't going to be a candidate with a majority of votes in the entire State. For a Conservative Candidate to have a chance of winning, the State Republican Party needs to get behind one candidate to support in the Primaries. Allowing the Party to fracture into groupd supporting two, three, four, or more candidates is only going to result in the same thing that happened last year, No Conservative on the Ballot. I am thinking John Cox for Governor, at least he's a Republican. Don't even think of voting for the Demorats ! |

I like your attitude.
If all the Republicans in California would vote, we could do it. I will be voting for Travis Allen or John Cox. |

http://graphics.latimes.com/election...ornia-results/ 1.9 million - Hillary 1.5 million - Bernie 1.2 million - Trump Looks more like that was a balance of 26% Republican. Kasich & Cruz totaled less than 400,000, but even giving another 400k to Trump, it's still only 32% Republican... Hillary scored 38% Harris 40%, Sanchez 18%. 3rd was at 8%... not even on the map. 2014 - Brown came out of the primary at 55%

Redistricting, as well. The part that requires a certain amount of majority-minority districts was not something I noticed when I voted for it, but after that was passed I went from having Republicans represent me to having Democrats represent me. The law has done more harm than good.
Another big hit, but an old one, was Reynolds v. Sims. Republicans would have a shot, at least, at a CA Senate majority today under the pre-1967 constitution, which provided for something close to one-county, one senator (still 40 districts for 58 counties, with the smallest population counties being formed as needed into districts of 2-3 counties, with no counties being divided for any reason; the majority of counties had their own senator). A Democrat supermajority would be virtually impossible for the time being. The constitutional provision that was undone by the courts was passed overwhelmingly via the initiative process a couple of decades beforehand. People back then recognized the need to balance power, to include that between the urban and non-urban areas. The SCOTUS ruling itself is grievously unconstitutional and based far more on ideology than law. |

Here’s a quote from a Wall St. Journal Editorial this morning (9 Nov 2017):
“Democrats are taking Trenton back under public-union control. Governor-elect Phil Murphy (New Jersey), a former Goldman Sachs millionaire, is a 360-degree progressive who wants to raise taxes, increase spending and in the process will drive even more taxpayers from the state.” I don’t know why, but I’m still amazed at how anyone, voters or politicians, can think like that.

Newsom will probably "win" the governors race in the June primary, when our "elected" officials are appointed by party insiders:
http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/09/1...orial-primary/ You have to take into consideration who votes in primary elections (more of the Newsom crowd and less of the Villaraigosa crowd) Edit: Even if Villaraigosa makes it to the general election, it's a midterm election that won't draw enough of his supporters.

It was passed by the legislature (after being written and campaigned for by the governor) and signed by the governor. It was $0.12/gallon... gas in California is ALWAYS $0.50-$1.20 more than it is in free states due to the custom formulations mandated by the CARB (California's version of the EPA). In addition to the gas tax, our vehicle registration fees are going to be going up by $125 next year.

Honestly I'm hoping whoever of the 2 gets the nomination is quickly sent running to hide under a rock after sexual harassment charges. We all know Newscum is a sleezeball and Villaraygoza is mesican so you know he's probably got some skeletons of a sexual and or gang banging kind in his closet.
Hope they both go down in a hail of flames.

They called it a Gas Tax, and didn't publicize that there was also fees tacked onto car registration, and even electric car ownership. I just got the registration bill for my 1997 VW Jetta, and it was about $52 previously and for next year it's about $125. The thing that gets me boiling is that the money is going to the General Fund, and the Politicians are fighting over how to spend it. Last time I read that they had already craved about 40% off of the "Gas Tax" for other projects. This is what happened to the money that Motorist already pay in Gas Taxes that were supposed to go to road building and road maintenance. I've read an explanation that more is getting spent on roads than is being collected by the Gas Tax Money being collected and dumped into the General Fund, and State Bonds being issued to pay for the road building and road maintenance. How does that work? They Collect say $1, and hijack it for other wasteful projects like the Bullet Train, then issue Bonds to get the $1 back so they can pay for the roads, and WHO PAYS BACK THE BONDS, AND THE INTEREST? The roads and road maintenance would cost us less, if the money we motorists pay was deposited into a fund that pays for what the money was collected for. Cash AND Carry. The Road Projects would cost us much less if we paid in cash, and collect interest on the money before it's disbursed. The CA Government is playing the same game that the US Government is playing with Social Security. Collect money from Taxer Payers, spend the money instead of holding it or investing it, and take out loans (borrow more money) to pay the bills that the money that they collected were supposed to pay, without actually paying the money back out. The problem with all pyramid schemes is that eventually left isn't enough new money/suckers paying in to support all the outgoing money, and the scheme collapses. |

As for Tony vs Gavin, from a RKBA perspective, there is no difference. The general election will be top two so there will be no conservative / Republican option. I'm inclined to vote for Tony, because he's incompetent and will pack the state gov't with reconquistadors, which will make rich white liberals suffer more. He's also more likely to get indicted for whatever it is that they do to get indicted in Bell, Maywood, Cudahay, etc.

As to what we'll "ever have", I agree. Calif. is now firmly a one-party state; not just any party. It is firmly leftist liberal, and they can and will do whatever their statist, liberal desires dictate. There is no such thing, in Calif., as a "moderate" or "centrist" Democrat.
