After listening to Obama's statement on the midterms, it seems like this is the situation he wanted

122. And people in California have woken up - they just do NOT know what

The friggin' fuck to do about it.

Only twenty nine percent of all California's REGISTERED voters showed up or voted absentee in this election.

One Big Reason - we only have two candidates on the ballot for every single position except state superintendant. Nowhere to put in a wise ass protest vote for Mickey Mouse.

All this is due to some new "codefication of the ballot."

I had heard about this, back in 2011 or 2012 when it occurred, but I thought it meant the top two of each party. (Back in 2008, for the govrnor's slot, we had to choose between over 155 people running as Democrats in California. Which is rather exteme. But now the pendulum has swung the other way.)

If you don't like the Blue Dawgie, Social security-destroying Congress critter who insults every progressive he ever meets, all you can do is either leave the space for that position blank, or vote Republican (hardly a choice for msot progressives I know)

Only the slot of State Superintendant allows you to vote for something/someone else.

And there was not a single Green or Libertarian on the ballot, due to how the One Big Money Party in California has totally destroyed any indie thinking, poltiical wise.

So the party as defined by one Di Feinstein will rule over all of us, in perpetual tyranny, until she and her hsusband have encaptured every damn historic mural off of every damn Post Office building in the world!
