over 200 million wasted by the zealots on this little spectacle. maybe they should just masturbate next time. they would feel better after, and they would have at least a little something to show for it.

Go waste people's time and money somewhere else. Better yet, go to Texas or Florida where you won't have to do that because there, you will be accepted with open arms.

Legalizing weed brought in the transients? That is a very interesting perspective. I wonder why? Easy jobs?Bentleyspop said:
Having lived in Boulder I can tell you that it is not as bad as it was when weed was legalized. Then the transients were everywhere. But then the city outlawed smoking in public (of anything) and then other states legalized weed so a lot of the transients moved on.curmudgeoness said:mace1229 said:One of the biggest complaints and reasons for a recall is the homeless and crime issues. I used to live in Venice Beach and now the pictures I see it’s just overgrown with tents. But how much of that is state vs local government to blame?We’ve got a growing homeless problem here in Colorado, part of it is local city council struck down the ban on “urban camping” so tent encampments are growing, spreading and are a much bigger problem than they were just a year ago. That’s local, not state. I’m not a fan of Newsom, but I also think he’s getting blame for things out of his control too.So, in the past few years I've been to Seattle and Portland (and Boulder), and I live in San Diego. Lived in Seattle many years ago, when there was homelessness and the McDonald's on 4th and Pike(?) already was scary, but what I saw in 2018 was out of control compared to how it used to be. It's a big issue in cities all along the West Coast as far as I can tell -- Portland offers storage facilities for homeless people, so they have a place where they can leave their stuff each day. Downtown San Diego -- I volunteered at the vaccination supersite at Petco Field this spring, and we were advised to travel in groups, during the day, to the parking garage.And I was surprised by the number of tents/ encampments along the Boulder Creek trail, too.I do think it's a matter that needs to be addressed more locally than on a state level, even while the problem transcends state borders.
Easy access to weed.

I hope so. But what I wonder is, how did it get this way in the first place. Obviously being predominant a Democrat blue state does not make us perfect by any means. I mean, after all, the system is run by that most illogical of species: homo sapiens.Give Peas A Chance…0 -

Appearances. In a blue state like that, you want to make sure they not only win but demolish the opponent. If Newsom won by like 10% instead of 30% (or whatever it ended up at) that would be perceived as a win for republicans and give them momentum heading into VA next month and midterms next year.HughFreakingDillon said:

I am hearing "voter fraud" and crying about the recall from the right side.
The state is heavily democrat. Has been for years. What did you really think was going to happen?0 -
Not saying this one was rigged, but I just don’t trust our voting system anymore.
And FYI, the way the ballot was prefolded so you didn’t have to think much about it, if someone did elect for the recall, their answer would be plainly shown through the holes in the envelope unless you folded it differently yourself.
Not saying a conspiracy, but who the hell designs so-called anonymous ballots so haplessly?0 -

I feel like if these elections were indeed rigged, it would have been exposed by this point.
