Megaman's Jockstrap posted:I got a text from Gavin Newsom's campaign like "Hi I'm Brenda, can we count on you to support Gavin?" and I replied back "Delaine Easton" and they said "ok" The Newsom campaign seems to think that if they can get to the general without Villaraigosa on the ballot, they'll win. A vote for Easton is fine by them.

It’s at least 90% “Independent” just means someone votes straight ticket republican with maybe a very rare exception, and are just too embarrassed to admit they are a bigoted fascist piece of poo poo that also loves shooting children and enriching the rich. so they hope saying “oh well ho hum well actually I’m independent! Both parties are bad! *brain slides out of ear into molten pile of goop*

I'm registered NPP because the Democrats weren't liberal enough for me and the Greens are a dumpster fire full of clowns. This was an issue last year, when my girlfriend's mom was trying to be elected a delegate to the state Democratic convention and neither my girlfriend nor I could vote because we weren't registered with the party. We made ourselves useful by directing traffic in the parking lots, instead.

The gap between what California is and what conservatives imagine California to be is a neverending source of entertainment. Especially the notion that we're going to go bankrupt any minute now. In the real world:The Sacramento Bee posted:Gov. Jerry Brown is using a surging, $8.8 billion surplus in his 16th and final year leading the state to stash billions of dollars in reserves. Meanwhile, conservative dominated flyover states that have implemented full trickle-down economics can only afford to keep their schools open four days a week.

Conservative propaganda has brainwashed the rest of the country into firmly believing that California is a failed and bankrupt state. A coworker from Texas tried to play that card in a discussion recently and in typical conservative fashion got dismissive and wanted to to change the subject ("I don't actually care") when corrected.

Same conversation except my office shithead tried a hail mary save by claiming it was because California is a breadbasket and the real heart of America, it's farmers, were responsible for our prosperity despite the liberals trying to steal all the water. When I pointed out Agriculture was the only sector of our economy that didn't grow last year, I got the "well I know I read we've got budget problems somewhere I'll look for it later" and a quick topic change.

We do have a lot of problems, though. Homelessness is terrible. And also increasing profits being funneled to the 1% is nothing to crow about. Sorry, I'm not trying to be a downer, and conservatives are definitely full of poo poo, but we could improve a lot.

I mean if their criticism was that most of the wealth in California was funneled to the Bezos and Musks while people are homeless they could at least find some common ground, but no its all about how the state just Hoovers up all your guns and tax dollars while illegal immigrants are cruising around in welfare provided Lobster tail powered escalades.

The California Senate passed a bill to reinstate net neutrality, now it goes to the assembly. In true Commiefornia style, it not only reinstates the FCC's old rules, but makes them even tougher by explicitly forbidding zero-rating.

Sorry, I'm not trying to be a downer, and conservatives are definitely full of poo poo, but we could improve a lot. All true and I do wish less dollars were being funneled to the ever-growing technology circlejerk and more towards solving housing, poorer school districts, and so on. If we do have one big sin these days, it's that California really is the heart of the awful "technology startups will solve all the worlds problems!" syndrome that seems to be so trendy with liberals these days.

It's incredibly important to conservatives that California be a failed state, because otherwise they would have to live with the cognitive dissonance of all of our socialist lieberal policies being enacted on the most populous state in the country and not promptly collapsing it into a murderous, bankrupt free-for-all.

Can you really attribute California's economic success purely, or even mostly, to its state government policies? Taking the San Francisco Bay Area and its economic history as an example, below is my list of factors and events which in my opinion have had the greatest influence on the Bay Area economy: 1. Great weather, and the resultant nearby fresh agriculture in the Central Valley of California 2. The California Gold Rush 3. Stanford University, and Fred Turman, the dean & professor who created the idea of funneling Department of Defense research funding into university applied science projects, and who encouraged his students to start technology companies. This created the tech industry in the Bay Area in the 1950's. At that time, it was very different than now, being mostly oriented towards military applications. 4. William Shockley moves from the East Coast to the Bay Area, to be near his mother who lived there at the time. Also, he starts a semiconductor research lab and company in the Bay Area which birthed the semiconductor industry. The software and internet companies followed later, and are now a huge part of the Bay Area economy. These things seem to me to be not that related to the merits of the California State Government--what am I missing here?

According to conservatives, California's left-leaning policies alone should have driven the state into abject poverty. It's not that leftism has allowed California to prosper (although it has -- kindly do some research into Reagan and Schwarzenegger's terms to see how the state's economy goes when Republicans are in power), but that everyone on the right agrees that it has driven California to ruin. Which it hasn't. If you really think that four single events over one-two hundred years made California's economy what it is today, then you're a bit daft in my opinion. We could easily have squandered those economic boons. You're also forgetting California's ports. The Port of Long Beach (and Los Angeles, which it's adjacent to) is the biggest port in the country.

Cup Runneth Over posted:If you really think that four single events over one-two hundred years made California's economy what it is today, then you're a bit daft in my opinion. Well, item 1 isn’t really a single event and is a huge boon to the San Francisco Bay Area’s economy. Add other items to the list to argue against my point. Cup Runneth Over posted:We could easily have squandered those economic boons. Yes but the nature of wealth is that it tends to concentrate. I don’t think that that is a controversial statement in this forum. Cup Runneth Over posted:You're also forgetting California's ports. The Port of Long Beach (and Los Angeles, which it's adjacent to) is the biggest port in the country. I was going to edit my post to list the Port of Oakland, but didn’t. I don’t see how this helps your point, unless you think that the California State Government’s policies deserve the lion’s share of the credit for California possessing the almost all of the American West Coast. The California Government would have had to greatly screw up to not have major sea-ports.

We don't need to claim that California is successful because of the state government - the fact that we are successful in spite of the government is enough to derail all conservative arguments.
