Anyone who questions this vote and victory should be denied a platform & be ignored.

Only morons and idiots see this as 'survival' rather than a triumphant victory.

(1,292 posts)The L A times called Larry Elder a conservative talk show host when he is, in fact , a crack pot extremist right wing talk show host. Calling him the former makes normalizes his extremism and ignores his grift. Hes fundraising off his loss, proceeds probably going to his pocket. Hes not a politician. Hes a shock jock without even the charm of a Howard Stern.

(10,825 posts)Read those headlines before going to bed and thought WTF! Survived, managed to win, etc.?
This was a complete rout, a mega win, a full rejection of the extreme right. Yes, it was California, a blue, blue state. But CA Republicans convinced the base that they could win, that they were on the way to victory, that they were the voice of the majority.
Unless fraud stole the show, of course.
This is what we need to do--beat them like a drum as Joe Biden would say. Beat them again and again.
Now on to Virginia, New Jersey and the other state and local races coming up. Make them cry!
This is the way we save the country.
