    Gee, that is fucking fantastic. If republicans are that fucking stupid across the country the left will have no problem retaining both houses in congress. That's it, voting by mail can't be trusted so there is no sense in voting in person. Like Darth Vader says, "resistance is futile".

    It would go down to near zero. Good point.

    I have, and I’m amazed that anyone would even attempt to defend the way that state is being governed lol.

    CA is not a poor state so there’s no excuse. It’s not like they have an uphill battle. Their political leaders are beyond incompetent—I’m not even sure there’s a word for it. And the really astounding thing is there’s zero hope of change on the horizon.

    And shame on the spineless, feckless invertebrate republican leadership for not supporting Elder more than try did. I don’t know that it would have mattered but some effort would have been nice.

    You have to understand the dynamics of the state. MAGA doesn't work/win here. That's just the reality. Elder was too far right for the state. Before any candidates were announced, when people said do you want Newsom recalled the polls showed the answer was Yes (the left on the board all ignore that part because it included a good number of independents and Democrats). But once it was shown Elder was the leading candidate for replacement the polls flipped. He was an easy target for Newsom so as to avoid his own record and why he was being recalled in the first place. The Republican Party made the right call in not endorsing a candidate. This election was about Newsom and his (many) failures but Newsom successfully made it about Elder/Trump. If the Republican Party came out endorsing Elder it would have done more damage.

    Some of the wealthiest areas on the planet and you say that? Does what you type have to have any logic? Are truth and numbers superfluous to you?

    What's $6 million in CA is $350K here with some of the best beaches in the world within a stone's throw.

    CA beaches suck ass. Can't even swim without a wetsuit.

    I was looking at some of that stuff. "2400 sq ft for $2 million".

    The government gets all the money.

    It is called supply and demand. California is in much more demand, so the cost goes up. Productive people live in a thin strip along the coast, so there is very limited supply.

    Thanks to the majority in California who took away and trashed the tRump threat on Calif. at crushing this repuke inspired costly, outrageous and un Constitutional recall effort to which the RNC/GOP should be billed for. This is because had it went the other way, the gates of hell would have prevailed because tRump who hangs around like a menacing and tyrannical grifter would have been the tyrannical gov of Calif at bleeding it dry because Elders would have been nothing but his flunky. The assholes who voted to recall Gov. Newsome at the peril of their own treasonous interests, the interests of society and the global economy all deserve to rot!

    The campaign manager for Republican Mayor Falconer also says that Kraken conspiracy theories are driving down Republican voter participation in the election.

    Kevin Faulconer, the former mayor of San Diego, was a distant third with less than 9%. His senior campaign advisor blamed Elder for driving down participation by GOP voters with his unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud in the days before the election.
