I lost my registration a couple moves ago, and just haven't been willing to put the effort in.


Funny, because once upon a time I voted for everything.

The Kalifornia Peoples Republik has forced me to vote a straight Republican ticket.

The Democrats are succeeding in turning this state into a land of haves and have nots.

You should just start calling us Northern Mexico if nothing is done to stop it.

For governor I had the choice between corrupt and corrupt-er. It was pukeworthy but at the last minute I decided not to go for the independent who had no hope of winning, because the dems needed all the help they could get this time around.

Yes, I voted.  Since I am a poll commissioner (one who sees that the voting process goes according to the plan) I'm privy to things that others aren't.

We had a large turnout, 531 voters out of 1143.  An awful lot of them we'd never seen before.  Evidently the campaign run by the nursing homes and hospitals for 2 constitutional amendments bore fruit.  About 10% of the new voters were in scrubs or wore health institution badges. 

We also had a hotly contested senatorial vote.

Putting something up for a vote is different from voting. And that's the point I was making.

I'm not American but here is what I see.
Conservatives - out of touch, anti-everything. Closeted in their time warped reality of how life used to be. Fox News...fail.
Liberals - Completely out of control. Not content with being open to progressive (and necessary realities - such as gay marriage, religious tolerance and so forth) they start political correctness and tone policing and double down on allowing the Social Justice warriors to lead them into pitiful capitulations to the restrictive, exclusionary, passive-aggressive attacks on everyone and everything. Fail.

I'd say that the conservatives are in touch, given how much they won. I think your analysis neglects that both the Republicans and the Democrats are very smart and well-funded, but market themselves to different groups of people. The Republicans sold themselves very well to the portion of the population who see Obama's policies as the creeping encroachment of socialism on the lives of people who just want to be left alone by the government. The Democrats held onto most of their gerrymandered seats, but tend to appeal to women and minority voters (hence the SJW rhetoric). If anyone miscalculated, the Democrats did.

That's one problem with parliamentary systems: they require a government to be formed by parties working together to form a majority. No one expects the Democrats and the Republicans to work together, unless they're passing tax breaks for the rich. :zoinks:
