Oh yeah, Dec 10th... hoping for the best outcome in LA: bloomberg.com It sure hasn't garnered much national media attention. Frankly, national media are lazy.. and cheap. A lot of them have cut back spending significantly with the end of the budget year for most companies coming. So much easier to fill up time with 'what's trending' on social media, and it costs almost nothing, which is exactly what its worth.

Great post, what's up with that?

Are the Democrats just dumb now-lol?

<<

per the Constitution I don't even think it's legal, even if Californians voted for it, so are they going to go to war with the U.S. to force it?

regardless if it's even legal, it makes no sense on so many levels. The 55 CA delegates that always go to POTUS elections would be lost. That would further ensure the U.S. remains under right wing control which is bad for everyone. The economic impacts to CA would also be self-destructive. But I guess some folks would vote for it just out of spite.

meanwhile there's still one senate spot still up for vote. Early voting starts today in LA. Instead of all the money being raised for a recount that won't happen, where has any focus and money been raised for the Dem from Louisiana. Yeah, it's a long shot but sure beats trying to secede or throwing money at a recount that has zero chance of overturning anything... that one extra senate spot would be huge, but yeah, it's a long shot
