From what I can tell all of the (D) candidates running are nobody crazies, let's just pull one out of a hat: Survey Questions posted:Paffrath came to California with $1,000 at 17 years old. While working at Jamba Juice & Red Robin, he attended Buena High & Ventura College before graduating UCLA. Paffrath became a Realtor & bought his first home and later numerous rental homes. He later became a real estate broker & is now a self-made millionaire with a net worth of over $20 million. He shares his knowledge through YouTube. Now, Kevin understands why people are fleeing California. Taxes are too high. Homelessness is endemic. Housing affordability is at an all-time low. And, our schools are failing our citizens.  I agree  self-made youtube multi-millionaire man: homelessness, the lack of affordable housing, school funding, and lack of transportation infrastructure beyond roads are all major issues facing the state. And clearly the answer to resolving all these issues is... get rid of all income tax below $250K, and shutter HSR. Wait...

This whiny bitch I knew from College apparently decided to run in this recall as well (he was some Ben Shapiro-like Republican in the Davis recall) but this time he's got a D next to his name. Motherfucker watched Fox News like it was manna from heaven. What a fucksad existence of constantly craving validation.

In a previous state rep election I noticed that it was the exact two candidates as the last election, but instead of D vs R they were now both listed as D's. Looked up the former GOP guy and sure enough they had not changed their policy stance whatsoever. However their last name was higher up in the Alphabet so I guess they were hoping being the first listed (D) would let them win. They got more votes than last time but still lost handily.

sb hermit posted:it just feels like a potential 2016 all over again and I'm just sooooo tired It would certainly be bad if Newsom was recalled, but it would be nowhere near 2016 levels of bad. If he got recalled, his replacement would only serve a year before the 2022 election where a Democrat would almost certainly win. There would also be a Democrat supermajority in both chambers of the state legislature that could override any veto from the new governor. So the damage would be contained to executive actions that could easily be undone once they are voted out in 2022.

FCKGW posted:it's meaningless. why would anyone vote yes on question one but then also vote for gavin on question two? If 49% of people vote not to recall on question 1 and Gavin on question 2, and 51% of people vote to recall on question 1 and split their vote for all sorts of crazies on question 2, then Gavin could win on question 2. E: thought I was responding to a hypothetical where Gavin could be a choice on question 2. In reality, I don't think that is possible. The democrat thing is that Gavin won't have a (D) next to his name on the ballot at all because he missed a filing deadline. VikingofRock fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Jul 24, 2021 |

That's pretty funny and I wouldn't be surprised if it loses him a few votes from confused people, but I don't think it's going to be a big deal. Of course it does show that the Dems aren't taking this at all seriously, and we've seen what can happen when they think they have things in the bag. edit: quote and edit are different buttons, I have discovered via this doublepost

It won't be 2016 levels of bad, but the self own would be pretty funny and there's no telling how much a republican governor would grind the gears of governance to a halt, crippling the economy. And then they would blame the high income tax and seek to further reduce property taxes and solve the homelessness problem by simply making it illegal.

I do not live in Sacramento and have never watched this station so I don't know what their blatant political leanings (if any) are, but just peaking at the politics section on their website it is nothing but nonstop articles about the recall, and how Larry Elder has a real shot to unseat Newsom (
) so I can kinda infer here.

Canasta_Nasty posted:This is totally me and I'm actually calling on people to vote no on the recall but vote for me on question 2. I don't know how to convey it exactly, but from the few people I've talked to they didn't seem to immediately understand that by not voting on Question 2 (since the Democratic Party is not running anyone in Question 2), they're ceding their question 2 vote to those who want the Recall to happen. It's like they're giving away their life raft before the sinking of The Titanic believing that The Titanic will never sink. If you have an easy way to convey that, then I think you'll find many more votes for you from those people voting No on Question 1. sb hermit posted:You're right.

But they'll write the articles!). There would be political implications beyond Gavbot's career. It would also be very funny and the theme from Curb Your Enthusiasm would be very appropriate.

BeAuMaN posted:It looks like they finally uploaded the poll, if anyone wants to take a closer look: Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. And while the headlines coming out are still a bit hyperbolic, there are some troubling deeper numbers: quote:Independent voters are breaking in favor of recalling Newsom, at 54%. Hispanic voters are also slightly in favor of the recall, 48% to 44%. Regionally, support for recalling Newsom is highest in Northern California (52% to recall), Central California (55% to recall), and Southern California (48% to recall). The regional divides aren't surprising, although Newsom should be sweating at the Hispanic vote slightly breaking for recall, and that he only pulled 53% to keep in LA of all places. And then there's this nugget: quote:On the question of who they would vote for if Newsom was recalled, a majority (53%) of voters are undecided on a candidate. Which really just punctuates how loving stupid it was for the CA DNC to decide not to run or endorse any backup candidate for the recall.

I know for me at least, work can get so intense I've only survived by leaving it in the classroom. Outside of my political work I've tended to avoid teacher things beyond work hours. Cup Runneth Over posted:Are there any areas where that's not the case? Maybe China or Vietnam? I was gilding the lily a bit. A good rule of thumb is that telling an internet stranger you want to murder them is not going to actually be funny. The rumblings of neo-Nazis across the globe just emphasizes the problem. Anyways, looks like the mods took care of it so I'm happy letting it drop.

Wanna see how they defined Northern/Central/Southern. Remembering a survey where everyone thought Northern California started wherever they lived and anything south of that was Central. Had people in Redding saying anything south of them was Central and people in Monterey saying they were definitely in NorCal. They also have a section where they ask people the most important issue facing California and they let people give their own responses if they picked other. Some fun ones I saw: quote:Capitalist servitude to Mammon quote:Globalist totalitarian Marxist agenda being imposed on caif which includes all the aforementioned issues plus illegal immigration & visa workers quote:Landlord unable to evict and raise rent do to moratorium quote:out of wedlock pregnancy quote:Take care of the working class , get rid of sanitary city’s and states , cut stupid taxes ,take care of the Americans not illegal aliens , he is a socailest and a control freak like his aunt men like him are are bad people for this country’s healing he is a racist color should not make a difference including white And my favorite: quote:Critical Race Theory
