I’m still peeved at Jill Stein for going to dinner with Putin in the run-up to the 2020 election, sitting at a table with that ol’ traitor General Mike Flynn.
What a bunch of malarkey! Enough with the fear mongering through Independent Voter shaming and George McGoverning aother generation of voters in attempt to relegate them to George Washington’s biggest fear, the republic devolving into a two party system where Americans put “the Party” over Country.
Reality: Incumbent Joe Biden is such a flawed candidate that he cannot hold his own against a insurrectionist candidate facing 91 felony counts and 4 indictments. One Party Rule has made California into the Banana Republic it has become.
Support Rank Choice Voting and get the money out of politics, the youth represent the largest voting block in American history, carpe diem and save those on fixed incomes from having to die homeless on the streets of California to make for the most profitable fundraising with the least amount of effort.

And I’m still peeved at the people who voted for Jill Stein in 2016 and handed the election to Donald Trump. I’m fearful from I’m reading here they’re getting ready to do it again.
Well Carl you can forgive them. Because no Jill Stein supporters were in the Electoral College in 2016 that elected Donald Trump President 304-227. Jill Stein voters did not get Donald Trump elected. The Democratic Party did. “The Party” defied the will of Democratic voters in order cash in on the biggest corporate sycophant with the greatest fundraising capabilities for “the Party. Turns out she was the most unelectable candidate. (Exactly like “the Party” did in 2004)
Reading what you’ve written, Mateo, is the reason I am terrified
Look around you, go for a drive, take a look at what San Diego and California has devolved into. One party rule is failing us and it is only get worse. The results of no checks and balances should be what terrorizes you, like it does everyone else everyday, not the brutal honesty of your neighbors.
Just yesterday, Joe Manchin told NBC that he would absolutely consider running for president.
