If Newsom is our best hope then we are fucked. The guy thinks if the throws enough minorities under the bus the rest of the country will forget he is a Democrat from California.

Ahh yes, we all remember that time the Democratic president asked a state to gerrymander away some oppositional seats. /s

We also remember when Republicans fled Oregon to deny quorum. (This one is not sarcastic)

I'm a contrarian so I must be an independent thinker.

I wonder how many Republicans would be unseated with rank choice voting....

The more overworked people are the more willing they are to take intellectual shortcuts and not think independently. One of those shortcuts is to mistake a contrarian opinion as independent thought. Throw in a contrarian leader into an economy where people are overworked and this is the result.

Judging from the YouTube comments they are hitting their mark. Lots of people mistaking being contrarian for being independent though, like in the case of COVID vaccines and makes wearing.

Reminds me of the adage:

No one chooses to be stupid

This video refines the idea to say stupidity isn't a psychological phenomenon but a problem that is constructed by society.

If media bubbles didn't dominate the landscape they would see common cause with the farm workers who also don't like breathing pesticides when working in the fields.

They're asking for access to the voting machines. I'm sure there is nothing to worry about here. /s
