California Governor Gavin Newsom wins recall election in a landslide!

[Stann]

"Russia is a communist country"...................

Russia is an oligarchy. It was supposed to be a democracy, that's a bad joke.

"Russia is a communist country"...................

'Communist' is like 'socialist' or 'treason' for most conservatives. They're just pejoratives....placeholders for whatever fear and anxiety the speaker is holding at any given moment. They are verbal shorthand for communicating vague angst and emotion.

Almost none have the slightest clue what the terms actually mean or can discuss them intelligently.

 

[JohnDB]

Look at what his opponent did, the same exact thing trump did. It's a bad joke on republicans when the imitate trump. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

Im guessing that they really didn't want to win except that this recall was nothing more than a harassment to reduce resources... otherwise they would have done much better one would think.

 

[Stann]

You don't even have to like Newsom or think he's doing a particularly good job to NOT want a talk show host with no experience as your governor.

From what I seen he's doing a great job. My sister lives in California, she supports him. Obviously most people in California do. Much better than a crybaby Republican, with sick views of how to deal with a pandemic.

And like clockwork, King Crybaby released a statement that the recall was a 'rigged election'.

What does that Sore Loser party have to offer beyond grievance and conspiracy batshit?

 

[HappyJoy]

Because of the way it's being run by authoritarian rule

You mean mask mandates as a matter of public safety? Clearly, you're abusing the definition of communism.

So, what economic policies are Communist in California?

 

[DrLove]

Of course it's fraud. Democrats make up as many ballots as they need. The found some drunk with boxes of ballots in his car. Mail in voting is the beating heart of fraud.

Sounds like a job for *drumroll* ..... THE NINJAS!!

I’m sorry, that’s just a really simplistic mindset.

Russia is not communist. It’s corrupt. It’s authoritarian. It is kleptocratic. It’s not communist.

Do you even know what communism is?

I see your point, United Russia is the party in power with the Communist Party in second.
Having said that,
While the trappings of communism no longer remain, the effects of the ideology and the nature of power politics in Russia have a strong line of continuity with its past.

Is Russia Communist Today? Find Out Here!

With its national identity linked to communism for nearly a century, many wonder: Is Russia communist today, even after the fall of the Soviet Union?

No mention of China?

 

[HappyJoy]

For starters, authoritarian and communist aren’t synonymous. You can’t just switch one for the other.

Right?

Don't forget the misguided information that he bases his pandemic responses on, that would surely kill many more Californians.

As is typical for most complex things, conservatives took a difficult situation and made it worse.

The now-unsuccessful Gavin Newsom recall election is expected to cost the state of California and its taxpayers a pretty penny, likely to the tune of more than $300 million.

Here's how much the failed Newsom recall election cost California

It'll cost the state a pretty penny.

So rather than using that 300 million for fire fighting or building new reservoirs or new highways or schools or students.........it was wasted to soothe the butthurt of conservatives over Trump's lost in 2020. All in exchange for nothing.

 

[HappyJoy]

So it was for July and not last month like you claimed. Got it.

Yes, it was August's report for July. Point stands, California is not "losing jobs" as the poster I originally responded to claimed.

At least normal conservatives believed in something. Jimmy Kimmel summarized modern conservatives beautifully and in one sentence:

"If they win its a landslide, if they lose its fraud."

To some it can't be fraud if anyone claims it was fraud.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

More than 70% of our GDP comes from counties that voted for Biden. We're got our part of the economy covered.

Well duh, those counties are where the government handout people live as well. They will always vote for the Dim.

 

[HappyJoy]

Do you it might have a quarter I could borrow ?

Whatever that means.

 

[Skylar]

Well duh, those counties are where the government handout people live as well. They will always vote for the Dim.

With a paltry 28% of the GDP generated by Trump voting counties, you likely couldn't accord to care for these people. We have to carry conservatives.....and the homeless.

Its the burden of those leaning left.

It's the go to pejorative for the GOP Right.....

 

[HappyJoy]

So, you're saying that state government handouts is what is propelling their economies over red states? Or do you mean money from the feds that red states are addicted to?

 

[Dana7360]

Yeah, that must be how California elected Reagan and Schwarzenegger ... Both twice
Might be helpful if you fielded a good candidate - Larry Elder wasn't it.

They also elected republicans george deukmejian and pete wilson as governor too.

The Northeastern and Central Valley part of California has always been far right, reactionary and wanted out.....google "State of Jefferson".
