If you live in California, go vote tomorrow. If you know someone who lives in California, call them, call all of them, and make sure they vote tomorrow. Actually, let me clarify that a bit: IF THEY ARE NOT DEMOCRATS, call them and remind them to go out and vote tomorrow. If they are Democrats, maybe you should delete their contact?
I don’t expect good things from the West Coast, ever. They used to pop out good movies every once in a while, now the colon of Hollywood plops out “diverse” drivel with trans characters shoehorned into them and left-wing messages hammered into 90 minutes of idiocy. As a kid, I was assured the entire state would soon fall into the Pacific Ocean. As an adult, I’m ready to support the plan of Lex Luthor in the original Superman movie to nuke the San Andreas fault to facilitate that broken promise.
I’m joking, of course, or at least mostly. If it did sink off into the water, you really have to ask yourself whether or not you’d miss it. Some of the people, sure, but the poison and stupidity, the downright insanity those sunbaked morons unleash on the rest of the country? Nope. Governor Hairdo and a Congressional Delegation with a collective IQ roughly that of a sexually abused tube sock? Not at all.
That’s why, if you live there, you have to vote. That is, of course, if you aren’t busy packing up to move out.
As far as the race for Governor goes, Democrats had rigged the system to shut out Republicans. Their “jungle primary,” where there is no party affiliation, just everyone on the ballot with the top two vote getters facing off in the general election. It was created to prevent the GOP from even making the final cut, but it is now backfiring on them.
Democrats assumed they’d always be in the majority, which they are right now, but they assumed that also meant they’d have popular candidates. That’s where their wheels came off. They have nothing but awful candidates, horrible people, or both. Tom Steyer is a creep and opportunist whose only positive attribute is his money, but his party hates people with money. Xavier Bacerra is a nobody who has a scandal looming over him involving campaign cash allegedly being used to pay his chief of staff; either he knew about it and was an active participant, or he was a disconnected moron who didn’t spot corruption under his nose. And Katie Porter is just an awful person.
A Republican might make it to the final round because Democrats are so horrible. And it would be hilarious if Democrats so split their vote among the morons they’ve fielded that two Republicans ended up at the top. How funny would that be?
As for the mayor of Los Angeles, I also expect bad things. Not because Spencer Pratt isn’t a great candidate running a brilliant campaign, but because LA is full of idiots who elected the current mayor. Anyone who elected that boob is dumb enough to eat plastic fruit, so you can’t have high hopes. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have any hope.
In both cases, it will be a minor victory just to get one sane candidate to the general election in California. That would force Democrats to spend more money on races they otherwise wouldn’t have, which would help Republicans elsewhere.
Plus, it would be an added sociological experiment to see just how far-gone the left is: Will they support someone truly and completely insane with a proven track record of failure and being absolutely worthless over someone who is simply a Republican? I think I know the answer, but knowing and having it confirmed are very different things.
Whatever the case, get out there and vote if you live in California. If only the Democrats survive, you can continue your U-Haul booking to leave. If a Republican (or two) make it through, you can postpone your exodus for a few months until you see how it shakes out. I don’t have high hopes for California, but I’m not yet convinced that there is zero hope at all.
We’ll find out sometime tomorrow night…or in the next month, however long it takes Democrats to count votes this time.
