CA recall election: 2/3 vs 1/3 isn't "staving off a challenge", it's...

[JHB]

... "swatting away a bug."

3. More like splatting it with a flyswatter.

A "Truth Over Flies" flyswatter.

4. But damn it was expensive. I really resent this misuse of my tax money...

Karen Bass said tonight that there are no less than sixty recalls going on all over California.

This is incredibly, incredibly destructive of democracy.

6. And it accomplishes a secondary goal.

It prevents duly elected officials from the business of actually governing.

[Hekate]

8. Yep. That is a feature, not a bug.

[JHB]

9. That's because conservatives don't consider anyone else to be real people.

Our votes aren't supposed to count, much less win anything. Clearly, if their people didn't win, then something evil is afoot!

Been that way since Carter. All they've done is refine and perfect their technique.
