Gov.Ā Gavin Newsom on Friday accused the Trump administration of ārigging the electionā by dispatching federal poll monitors to five California counties, as voters cast ballots on NewsomāsĀ Proposition 50Ā redistricting measure.
The Department of Justice announced Friday that it would deploy personnel to polling sites in Fresno, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties to āensure transparency, ballot security, and compliance with federal law,ā ahead of the stateās Nov. 4 special election.
In an interview with KQEDāsĀ Political Breakdown, Newsom said the move was a āsetupā for the Trump administration to cast doubt on the potential victory of Proposition 50 ā a planĀ to redrawĀ the stateās congressional district lines to advantage Democrats.
Great answers.
Youāre the first person to actually answer with something besides āanyone else is better then him.ā
The big issue isnāt just the Republicans, really; itās how the Democrat leadership shuts down anyone who isnāt pro-Israel and pro-rich-donor. Theyāre so old-boys-club that theyāre totally out of touch with voters.
And so people see one Nazi-party and one reach-across-the-isle cooperate-with-the-Nazi-party and justā¦ walk away.
I mean, Schumerās said flat out his only job is making sure the Democrats support Israel. And all the rest of the leadership talks about is how they donāt seem to be getting supportā¦ so they should quit supporting trans rights and stuff, and go court republicans.
Itās fucking infuriating. And Newsom is just cut from that same insipid cloth.
Whatās infuriating is that people see the two parties and think they can be remotely the same.
I blame the education system and maybe lead in the water lines.
I mean, theyāre not, if you actually pay attention to politics. One group are actual racist shithead Nazis, for one thing.
But the other group are apologists for the Nazis, as long as the naziās donors give them money too, anyhow. Because theyāre rich and white, so who cares about consequences right?
The issue is that looks close enough that people who donāt pay attention to politics (and letās be real, thatās most people) justā¦ donāt care. We see it, but the news makes sure they donāt, and even in the case of Faux News feeds them an alternate reality narrative.
Democrats are, taken as a party, inadequately good. They do not resist the pressures and incentives around them to pursue the light.
Republicans are, taken as a party, evil. They collect donor money, but they would happily do the oppression of minorities for free. A number of them seem plausibly likely to pay for the privilege, actually.
