Assuming for argument that “votes” matter… Earlier I said that my “vote” would go for D this time but ONLY ONLY ONLY if Newsom was not there.
= = = = = START REPRINT:
I judge rulers by what happens when they’re in charge, not by what they say.
What happened when Trump was in charge? He imprisoned and waterboarded the entire nation, and the central bank poured 20 trillion dollars into the pockets of Bezos and Buffett and Fink.
What happened when Biden was in charge?
His administration didn’t solve any problems, but they did passively allow the waterboarding to stop. When TSA halted its ballgag mandate in April 2022, the administration didn’t force them to start again. So far they haven’t shown any signs of resuming the imprisonment and torture.
If votes mattered, I would vote for the Democrat this time… but ONLY if it’s not Newsom. Newsom is even crazier than Trump, which is an EXTREMELY HIGH BAR. He works directly for Apple and Google, and PASSIONATELY LOVES imprisonment and torture. He’s supercrazy and supersmart and energetic and ambitious, a world-ending combination of talents.
= = = = = END REPRINT.
Now Newsom is out of consideration, at least if the “laws” count. The same-state rule says that the P and VP can’t be from the same state at the time of the “election”. Bush and Cheney snuck around it because Cheney had lived most of his evil life in Wyoming. Sneaking would be harder with Harris as P and Newsom as VP. Both are solidly Californian.
Now I could safely “vote” D, just for the meaningless record.
