^^ a single example out of thousands of Californian districts, does not strike me as a disaster ... even more so because the districts where this can occur, 39 Democrats are well positioned.

You seem to forget you own words .
You said the system has never worked against Democrats. You were wrong.
Also, we aren't talking about thousands of districts , we are talking about 53 U.S. House races over the last 3 cycles( when California started the top 2 primary)
It's also not the only example. 8th(R+9), 25th (even)
I think California has reached the tipping point where the majority of people, regardless of party, are sick of paying higher and higher taxes while the state falls apart. Any extra money goes to homeless drug addicts and illegals. Enough is enough!
John Cox for Governor. His slogan should be: "Things can't get any worse if you vote for me!"
Oh how I wish that were true. Every bad proposition gets passed, every crazy dem gets elected. I stand here in Ca and keep watching sheep run off a cliff. Ca is so blue now there's no hope
