Wait, there’s not a single Democrat running in the CA recall?

Posted by spamlet Aug 18 '21, 17:10

I mean I get why for messaging reasons but that’s awfully risky with the polling that’s out there.

My ballot arrived today. Guess I should open and read it and get it mailed back, -- nm - Meg Aug 18, 17:42
Question. If you vote to keep him, do you not get a vote in part 2? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 18, 17:29 15
- Yes, some people don't realize this, but you vote on both parts regardless of your vote on #1. - ty97 Aug 18, 17:31 13
  - The Democratic party is asking you not to vote on #2. I don't agree. -- nm - jnine Aug 18, 17:40 6
    - There’s no one on the D side running so again that makes sense. -- nm - spamlet Aug 18, 18:08
    - If it's 20% of votes cast that puts a candidate into office, not voting reduces the hurdle the whackjobs need to clear to win. -- nm - TWuG Aug 18, 17:59
    - That doesn't really make sense to me. I guess they are trying to project confidence, but I'm not liking the approach. -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 17:51 3
      - My friends and I have decided to vote for Caitlyn Jenner. She won't figure out how to get anything done. -- nm - jnine Aug 18, 18:19
      - Assume Newsom survives. If there's a "reasonable" R that wins the second portion then he gets legitimacy for the next proper election -- (edited) - Reagen Aug 18, 18:07
      - or claim some PR victory should the recall petition pass by keeping the # of voters on part 2 lower. - Baron and Barratry Aug 18, 17:57
  - "Some people" equals Twitter jackasses on wheels, I take it -- nm - con_carne Aug 18, 17:34 2
    - 'Some people' based on reporting by reporters in Cali -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 17:44 1
      - Nobody from here actually calls it that! You are dealing with a shenanigans maker, sir -- nm - con_carne Aug 18, 17:47
  - weird -- nm - mud Aug 18, 17:33 2
    - It seems weird at first, but I think it makes sense, at least insomuch as this is a recall vote, not a new election. - ty97 Aug 18, 17:47 1
      - At least, this is my understanding of as an other-coaster without a pick in this election -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 17:49
- You can vote on both, regardless of how you vote on the first question. -- nm - jnine Aug 18, 17:29
There are people running as Democrats, but they aren't politicians. Just part of the circus. -- nm - jnine Aug 18, 17:27
