I’ll just say it!!! If you’re a Republican you’re a racist!!!

129. Explaining how politics works is hardly defending anybody

I would not vote for Arnie, did not vote for Arnie, but I get it, he is a moderate republican in a state party looking for their soul as they continue to lose ground.

His political model was attractive to the fastest growing block of California voters. He was highly successful. That is a fact jack. His economics are classic austerity politics and led to the a Democratic takeover in 2010, which went against the national trend. I am willing to bet you have no clue why.

You my friend have no clue how politics works, none. You are engaged in the same divisive us vs them politics the base voter on the other side is engaging in. And you think you understand how the game is played like they do. I suspect you have never ever sat through a hearing at your local city council, or board of supers. Nor have covered actual electoral campaigns.

What you are doing, broad brushes, is evil. It is also the creation of the other. It is dangerous and would work in a parliamentary system. In ours it is highly dysfunctional. And I blame people like you, and the base on the other side, and the pols that manipulate the both of you, for the dysfunction we are living through. I will not call you evil, just highly ignorant. The former can't be fixed, the latter can. I suggest a book in basic US politics should be in your future for starters.
