Yeah, I know, it just made me think of the election memes I saw back when.
I think they'd sooner become a Mad Max-style apocalyptic wasteland; either that, or something straight out of Escape from L.A.
Far as I'm concerned money well spent.
California democrats being pissed about having to spend 276 million on a recall election because their constituents demanded it under the rules everybody agreed to whilst they're shoveling billions of dollars into the furnace of waste, graft, and corruption that is the high-speed rail project in the state is the most California thing imaginable.
One thing makes them accountable the other doesn't.
I wanted them to spend more.
Since when do democrats give a shit about financial responsibility? Especially in California.
I agree, the Republicans have made a big public effort to butt into California politics and have been soundly rebuffed. The Democrats own everything that is to follow and have not even a bloody stub to stand on when they inevitably blame Republicans for all their woes.
Since it impacts their nation wide warchest to the tune of 270 million dollars.
The Republicans only spent about 10 million on this recall, so contrary to what the Democrats try and claim it wasn't that big of an effort.
The CA GOP will have to ensure that former San Diego Mayor Kevin Falcouner (R) is the nominee to go up against Newsom in 2022.
The time to get CA is 5 to 10 year's from now not next year dear God not next year

When malice and incompetence are on the table the correct answer is usually incompetence.Human error caused TV networks to briefly air wrong CA recall vote tally
Within hours of Newsom handily fending off a recall attempt from Republicans in California on Tuesday, social media users began sharing a clip of someone watching CNN election night coverage, claiming it showed real-time election manipulation.
Just operator error guys! Nothing suspicious going on! It's not like we had the exact same thing happen in the 2020 election and we are on the complete bottom of public trust already!
Yeah but two times is coincidence while 30 is enemy action. If all mistakes lean in the same direction then something is fishy.
In this instance the final vote tally was so in favor of "he should stay" that if there was malice it was probably someone trying to change the result to "he's gone".
Let that be a lesson for everyone; if you're going to cheat, make sure the results are so overwhelmingly in your favor so as to invoke peoples' incredulity that anyone could be so blatant.
