IME They won't outright refuse you, they'll just charge a shitload more, or say something like 'oh the machine that does the tailpipe sniffer is broken right now' As a racer and car enthusiast with a dozen or so older cars I have to deal with uncompromising draconian smog rules constantly. I'm still mad at the legislature and Arnold for repealing the rolling 30 year smog exemption that they never intended on honoring. Aside I actually race a 1993 Accord in low budget endurance racing and it's been amazing

I miss my Accord so much, just a great car; drat you nephew I love for taking it from me! It's a 94 and he's been digging it for like 7 years now with no problems. 06 CRV is still my jam. TGG fucked around with this message at 06:43 on Feb 20, 2024 |

I got a flyer the other day that slammed one of the County Board of Supervisors candidates for being endorsed by organizations that want to defund the police!! And I sighed because it was such a lame attempt and would probably also work on a lot of idiots.

Also, she's anti-corporate and probably, following Warren, anti-crypto so she'll have a lot of PACs gunning for her regardless.

give us ranked choice so we can rank the evils unfortunately, even if you ignore that lee's ancient (which in some sense is good, because there's no risk she becomes a feinstein-esque "gently caress the electorate, i will win, i choose the policies i want" stick in the mud), she campaigns like someone who's held a safe seat since time immemorial

The Glumslinger posted:Then vote for Barbara Lee, it's a pity she is polling so low the point is that ranked choice lifts any use for tactical voting in primaries if you'd rather at least have schiff v porter in the general than schiff v garvey, even if your personal politics align more with lee and more broadly that it's more democratic and more cost-effective than holding two elections for the same seat, one of which tends to only turn out partisans

The Dems will get the seat because the Dems will have spots on the actual ballot. Schiff will almost certainly be one, and he’d rather face Garvey than Porter.

Not voting Porter is a defacto vote for Schiff. The differences between Porter and Lee are minimal enough to where their voting records would effectively be the same, but Schiff would more or less be Feinstein 2.0. Porter and Lee would both push the needle and advocate for good policies that make a meaningful difference if elected.

Calmatters recently published some articles highlighting the similarities and differences between the candidates. The first thing written about Schiff is that he unequivocally supports Israel's right to defend itself
