Assuming you are one in the long grey line of libs who want the evil cons out of Cali, yeah, no problem, I've heard it all before, and yes, you won... you ran us out of town on a rail. Good job, congrats, more and more you can really get into your intense group think, leverage your supermajority in Sacramento, and make Vlad and Karl proud af.

Your strategy of getting votes through immigration was truly brilliant long term planning !
I gotta hand it to you all on that one. Dirty pool, but wtf, you've done your homework in your UC Berkeley classroom and have well implemented all that the Prince would have to teach.

Except your thinking isn't actually long term or rigorous enough. But that won't be proven in this forum, so let's just father time judge that one.

Thank you, and if you are one of the oppressed, i.e. non radical progressive, aka normal person, I pray you will somehow nonetheless thrive in the land of loons.

I am in my 70’s. High school dropout. Retired enlisted military combat vet. Retired second career blue collar small business owner (print shop). I am anti-immigration. Strong on border security. Anti-welfare. Super states’ rights advocate. Gun owner.

Sound like “a lib” to you?

Ideologies - all of them: political, religious, whatever - are poor excuses for having a lazy intellect. Science and rational analytics/logic are homo-sapiens’ unique tools. Too bad few take advantage of them to chart their course.

Have a nice life ... in Arizona. The more every kind of people leave California, the better.

Superb Tulemutt, your background is most impressive, honestly. And thank you for your service.

Thanks - my ability to thrive in SF (or anywhere) is not contingent upon strangers - and that includes loons of either political party.

I wish I could say the same.

Somehow we ended up in a dystopian parallel reality where prop 187 was blocked by a federal judge instead of enacted as the vast majority of California voters wished it to be.

What a different world California would be today.
Lower crime, cleaner streets, less homeless, more state resources...the California dream would probably still be alive.

Nay, instead we now have a growing movement towards Sanctuary City's.

A time in where an 5 time deported 7 felony convicted illegal alien can kill a US citizen in cold blood, claim then it was an accident and our beloved and oh so progressive and sensitive to reforming criminals decided to basically let him out of jail scot free.

Yes, and let's not forget all the other propositions where felonies have been reduced to misdemeanors, spiking more crime in our west San Jose area, since now it's just a slap on the wrist to break and enter.

You ain't seen nothing yet... wait Handsom Newsom gets going... in 5 years all the progressive Google and Facebook execs will be driving in armored cars like they do in Sao Paolo.

Who is "we"? Your profile says "New England" Why are you so concerned about California laws?

You do understand that our system of government was intentionally designed this way right? That voters were never supposed to have all the power. To the REPUBLIC for which it stands. Actually is in there for a reason.
