jerry should use the last ounces of his power to unilaterally appoint eastin and then vanish into a cloud of california wildfire smoke, only to drift off into the delta, which he saved.

Gavin's an empty suit, but he's our empty suit more or less. He'll tell you what you want to hear when he's in front of you.

Daddy needs his quickpicks: 1) Top priority: Bernie approved candidates 2) Second priority: DSA state wide consensus candidates 3) ugh priority: Your local DSA chapters candidates (that caused at least 5 people to leave that chapter)

Cicero posted:IIRC he didn't just "vote" gay marriage, didn't he like unilaterally implement it when it wasn't strictly legal or something? he made the decision as mayor of san francisco to direct the city clerk to recognize gay marriages despite the incredible political blowback it would surely bring from the city of san francisco. these marriages were almost instantly voided by the CA supreme court.

Gayle McLaughlin is the only statewide candidate on that list and she got the endorsement of like every DSA chapter in the state. My chapter also endorsed Jovanka Beckles for state assembly and she is also on that list. We really should have thought about printing and mailing out a DSA voter guide to go along with the 10,000 TAXPAYER'S VOTER GUIDE and PUBLIC SAFETY VOTER GUIDE BROUGHT TO YOU BE THE FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE pieces of garbage I get every year.

Calvert you loving bloated tick of a political throwback, we comin for you. Hitting the buttons super hard makes your vote count for more, right? Wait no I'm mail-in. But there are enough ultra-Trumpers and lifelong gop voters in my area that I've been assuming the blue wave will dodge us entirely. So many people who still care about guns, protecting America from the foreign hordes, and never never never funding "freebies" for the poor. They're all over the place. They own my apartment, they host Christmas dinner, they set up petition desks outside the local stater bros. God do I want to see these people poo poo themselves over Representative Peacock. we'll see, I guess.

Just got back from work, gonna make a sandwich real quick while I figure out what Chinese Church I'm voting at this time and then hop on over. Also got a "YES ON B NO ON C" text on the way back. Yes on B stuff is plastered everywhere because what a shocker it's backed by billionaires with money to plaster it everywhere, hopefully it doesn't pass.

Voters Edge is super helpful, it will show you candidates with their positions, endorsements, who donated, all that good stuff. You can also click the organization endorsements and see who else on the ballot they support. Example: https://votersedge.org/en/ca/ballot/election/area/69/contests/contest/16570/candidate/137783?id=statewide-69-ca

... That's a lot of voters that potentially get fed up and turn around. I just saw one do that myself. Is that number big enough to swing elections? Is this the sort of error that could be caused maliciously / selectively by tampering?

Thats an exceptionally large number of insta-disenfranchised voters, but I would err with LA county on the side of incompetence. They did this last time and I never got my mail by ballot (surprisingly it came this time). Beyond hosed up and I'm not taking this lightly.

The statement says that only 1000something polling places of the 4000something in the county were affected. If that's actually true I would bet money that you could put the affected locations on top of a map of the racial or other SES distribution of the county and a pattern would immediately pop out.

There's also no reason to have faith a provisional ballot would be counted given our states history of tossing them out on flimsy handwriting analysis done by complete amateurs.

Maybe I'm just super cynical, but I live in a pretty skewed (Red) district and I can totally see the poll workers (as great as they try to be) having an even unconcious bias in terms of letting folks know about the fact that there's a problem and provisional balloting... or simply not letting them know, based on how they look or who they are.

The majority of Republicans think that millions of ILLEGALS!!! vote in every election. It's not an unconscious bias at all.

I'm from NYC, but follow this thread sometimes because I might move to CA in the next year or two, and I just want to say that as a DSA member over here I'm so completely impressed by that voter guide and how much it seems to be respected and consulted by people who may not really have much connection to DSA at all. It's really heartwarming and makes me think positive things. tl;dr kudos from th etrash capital of the world

Leftists really, really need well researched and carefully made local voter guides to overcome our fractured nature and poor PR. I hope they catch on. I also hope for social media sub communities in the future that are better broken down geographically into neighborhoods and districts automatically, so that people have more of a chance of being shared videos about their local candidates. By the way, I've been wondering, how goes a "printing error" that affects over 100k people in an important election go magically undetected and unreported until the middle of election day itself?
