Gavin Newsom on Shaky Ground Six Weeks Out From California Recall Election

No.

Down with the Gringo !

Can someone familiar with this recall explain exactly what the people of California are upset about? I need my hot bf to stay in office.

It’s actually mostly white Republicans from Northern Cali and Trumpy Republican areas, i.e. Orange County, Manhattan Beach who were fighting tooth and nail for the recall. I believe Newsom recently won a court case because the CA Republicans we’re trying to sue Newsom and Democratic Party to not to be able to name Republicans as the ones responsible for the recall. Repubs lost that case.

They wanted to make it appear as if the it was a general consensus that everyone wanted him recalled, when it’s really just the Republican/ Trump supporters.

I'm a native Californian and I don't even understand the recall nonsense.

R3, the movement never would have happened if not for anger over California's shutdown. California shut down harder than most states and yet became the epicenter of the pandemic anyway last winter, which made people think that all the sacrifice was for nothing. The recall effort really picked up steam during that time, which is how the GOP was able to get enough signatures to recall him. He didn't help matters by dining out mask-less at an incredibly expensive restaurant with a lobbyist, which is ultimately meaningless but from an optics point of view was a disaster.

Had the recall election happened in June, Newsom would have beaten it easily. I think the major reason Newsom is in danger now is because people think that he might shut down the state again because of the Delta variant. For what it's worth, I don't think that's going to happen and I don't support the recall.

The good news is that even if he's recalled, the leading contender to replace him is a Democrat. The bad news is that he is a YouTube star and 'landlord influencer' with no experience in government.

He’ll serve another elected term. He’s a great governor

Republicans have been trying to recall him since Day One (basically). I think this is the fifth or sixth petition? I've lost count. The first petition to recall him was filed three months after he took office. I don't recall what the stated "reason" was then (illegal immigration?), but it's immaterial. They just didn't like the outcome of the 2018 election, plain & simple.

CNN

California voters say "who cares" if Gavin is removed

Enough with him.

Ballots are coming this week.

As much as I love him I think he might be in trouble.

OP, just bump one of your other numerous threads about this topic. No need to start a new one.

i think it will be close but he will ultimately pull it out.

That’s what she said.

[quote] Can someone familiar with this recall explain exactly what the people of California are upset about?

He shut down restaurants, bars, and businesses while other states didn’t and infringed on people’s freedoms and their ability to work.

And he put his hypocrisy on display when he wined and and dined with other elites at a fancy restaurant when restrictions were in place. Rules for him and rules for the rest of us.

He’s unpopular for how he handled the shutdown and hurt small businesses. Plus people hate him for going maskless at the fancy French Laundry in Napa indoors. He seems bourgeoisie and out of touch, a snob.

It's the homeless issue that will ultimately do him in. Just a horrible governor, so out of touch.

51 > 49

I am voting for him to be out. I signed and mailed the recall form. In LA we have been locked down and were the first to implement a mask mandate. These shutdowns, mandates, and pivots are really hurting local businesses. The homelessness is out of control, gas and taxes are high, and the state is in a very bad place. It might have started out as Trump supporters, than the Latino community, and then basically any small business owner. We need a change. Newsom is just a sleazy, crooked politician.

What would you expect another governor to do about homelessness?

[quote] These shutdowns, mandates, and pivots are really hurting local businesses.

So you want to be like Florida? He should be commended for shutting down early and saving millions of lives.

Larry elder could be a fantastic leader for the state of California.

For me, it is his absolute obliviousness to how much the quality of life has deteriorated for the working and middle class while he has been governor.

There was a story in the press recently about how Newsom has said privately that problems like homelessness, housing costs, water shortages, wildfires, etc. just don't have a solution. My response was "Then get the fuck out of the way and let somebody else try."

He can pull me.

Exactly!

[quote]Larry elder could be a fantastic leader for the state of California.

No, he couldn't. Go sit down.

And there's NO FUCKING WAY California will have a black governor before we have a Latino one. Some of you are every bit as oblivious as you accuse Newsom of being.

All the candidates are trash and this is GOP manipulation. I am concerned about DEM turnout but hope Gavin pulls through. You do not want GOP to control California. They will make Feinstein step down and there goes the senate majority and we are back to McConnell this recall is not a joke.

If blue-state Californians actually thought Newsom was that good a governor they would have overwhelmingly rallied behind him LONG ago.

BERKELEY, Calif. - Gov. Gavin Newsom visited a homeless encampment and helped remove debris in Berkeley on Monday, joining a Caltrans crew cleaning up a long-standing encampment along Interstate 80 at University Avenue.

The team of state outreach workers also offered options for unhoused people to move out of their tents and into shelters or other housing.

The governor said the state needs to develop a humane process for moving people and clearing camps while also creating more housing options.

"What you see here is unacceptable," Newsom said. "We had a big fire here. This is a high safety risk, a public health risk. There are hundreds and hundreds of rats running around. People should not live in conditions like this and we've accepted it too long."

[quote] If blue-state Californians actually thought Newsom was that good a governor they would have overwhelmingly rallied behind him LONG ago.

This is true.

Although an insane GOP Leader would be far worse.

Perhaps this will light a fire under Newsom and his team. If he can hold on until the next election, hopefully someone decent in the Dem party can replace him.

California was fucked up before, but dumb ass Newsom has taken fucked up to a whole new level. He needs to go.

The reality is, Larry Elder has been on drive time talk radio in California forever and is beloved by conservatives. My rock-ribbed inlaws are very excited to vote for him.

Aw, thanks for sharing your earnest and authentic concerns about California y'all. But that's not what this recall (or touchy-feely scandals, etc.) is about. It's about destroying the future political ambitions of Democrats.

You're being used.

Too little too late, Newsom.

What does he look like naked?

Yas kween. Check his onlyfans this December. ^

Much of blue California but fuck, who should we choose. I just got my sample ballot - Caitlyn, Angelyne, Larry Elder. There are not any good options. Faulconer?

[quote] I am voting for him to be out. I signed and mailed the recall form. In LA we have been locked down and were the first to implement a mask mandate.

So you want a Republican government so you can have a COVID free-for-all? Instead of voting him out, why don’t you just move to Florida? Seems more your speed.

Calm corn alarm.

Larry Elder has the best shot of beating Newsom, whose sense of entitlement is worse than Cuomo's. How historic it would be to see both of those leaders gone so soon after each other.

R10, have you ever considered that Republicans might be right, for once?

R44, they will never elect the great-grandchild of a slave (Larry Elder) to be governor of california.

Newsom will win *if* urban turnout is high. The rednecks will be out in force. Does Newsom excite the Democratic base?

R47 Not necessarily. Whenever I'm out having conversations with people, I'm shocked by how many people really hate Newsom. And these are not trashy people I'm talking about. Their young adults in college, business people, people of all races, young and old alike. Even a trans person I know hated him. I was really stunned. It's like the media coverage has no correlation at all with what you see on the street.

Also add in the fact that Covid is less a partisan issue than Democrats like to think. Everyone I know is not for lockdowns and a shockingly high number of people I've met who are not LGBTQ (suffice to say probably not Republican) have at least some issue with the way the governor handled the pandemic. The most shocking to me were the ones who had reservations about the vaccine and were open about it. While I'm pro vaccine, the internet made me believe that my views were in the extreme minority however that doesn't appear to be the case.

^Who are LGBTQ

Been telling you for a year that GQP has been pushing its agenda to get rid of governors in NY & CA. They had GOP gov in NY til 2003 and in CA til 2006. These are not states where Republicans never get elected. Hell, NYC had 20 years of GQP mayors until 2014. GQP wants voter laws changed in NY & CA, wants to reduce even more congressional districts, wants to make vast changes as Governor on their way out and then take power away from governors by executive order right before leaving office.

This is a political long plan.

Newsom will get, by far, the most votes. However, he needs to get more than 50 percent, while a challenger could win with a tiny plurality of votes. Typical Republican strategy--they can't get actual majorities, so they manipulate the system in whatever way possible.

I don't know anyone who hates Newsom. They think he's been trying his best in an extremely difficult situation. And, given that there's an election next year, they're pissed about the money being spent on this recall.

See, even if a Republican does get in, he'll be out a year later. In the meantime, we'll have fucking gridlock again and we had years of that.

The Republicans lost California because they're racist assholes who are counting on most voters not being really tuned in to the consequences of the recall.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Three days after Gov. Gavin Newsom celebrated his 2018 election victory, one of his major corporate campaign donors caused a mass killing.

The Pacific Gas and Electric Company pleaded guilty in June 2020 to felony involuntary manslaughter for killing 84 Californians in the 2018 Camp Fire.

PG&E’s officials walked out of court to go back to work on turning a profit, aided by state policies Newsom crafted to help the company.

. “Even when they are held criminally responsible, nobody actually takes that responsibility. So what's to stop them?”

In the months after the crime, Newsom not only signed new financial protections for PG&E into law, his office hired private lawyers in New York who wrote the legislative language.

Confidential emails and documents obtained by ABC10 reveal the New York law offices of law firm O’Melvany and Myers drafted AB 1054 in the Spring of 2019, before it was introduced in the state legislature.

An email from private attorneys working for Gov. Gavin Newsom with a draft version of AB 1054 attached.

The documents were obtained as part of ABC10’s news series FIRE - POWER - MONEY: How Governor Gavin Newsom Protected PG&E, which investigated how California gave financial protections to PG&E by the state government in the wake of crimes.

AB 1054 resulted in PG&E obtaining official state safety certificates for two fire seasons since the Camp Fire.

The law was written by the lawyers under a contract to represent Newsom’s office in PG&E’s bankruptcy, state records show.

After AB 1054 was already signed into law, drafting of legislation was added to an amended version of O’Melvany’s contract.

Payment records obtained through state transparency laws show O’Melvany billed California taxpayers $3 million during the time when the law took shape.

Investment bank Guggenheim also participated in crafting AB 1054 and charged $3.7 million during that time.

Adding to concerns about a lack of independence of PG&E’s state regulators, the emails reveal that the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) was assigned to write sections of AB 1054 by Newsom’s hired attorneys.

The CPUC, which prosecutors say harmed the Camp Fire criminal investigations, did not respond to a list of written questions for this report.

The agency is refusing to hand over its communications with key Newsom staffers around the time it waived a $200 million fine to help PG&E exit bankruptcy, prompting ABC10 to file suit under state transparency laws.

Newsom benefited from $208,400 in political contributions from PG&E to help him win his 2018 run for governor.

^^Yes.

Separate thread.

I have issues with Gavin but will definitely vote to retain him. Republicans bankrupt the state whenever they are in power. It’s very dangerous to suddenly change course and put a lightweight radio or reality show person in power.

Ok. New thread it is.

Thanks R55.

R54, assuming he remains in office, do you think you could vote for him again?

I voted for him originally, but have been following him closely and am really, really disappointed. I would not vote against him in the recall but am seriously contemplating not voting at all.

this recall election makes no sense. The crazy maga movement is coming to California and they want more dead kids. This is dangerous.

Not voting at all is even worse and it’s the same as voting Republican. He needs over 50% of the votes.

I am voting for his sexy ass again. Gov hot stuff has got me behind him.

This 15 video reminds us what's at stake.

if you can't watch all of it than just watch the last half.

Crazy Maga movement has come to California. MAGA Republicans want NO Science in schools. They want children to die of Covid. These people are dangerous and violent. If you are a decent Californian Republican, please vote for Gavin Newsom. This is truly fucking scary.

Newsweek has fallen so far. It's just a right-wing rag these days.

R62 is dangerously delusional

I want him to stay in office. That will mean more photos for my spank bank collection.

Biden is popular in Ca.

What has he done to help Newsom?

If the roles were reversed, Trump would be running his mouth about how great a repub governor the state had.

FWIW, the gamblers over on PredictIt have Newsom's odds of getting reelected at 71 percent.

CALIFONRIANS VOTE NO, (on the first question of the ballot).

CA Republicans target Hispanic voters in effort to get Gov. Newsom out of office

Everyone can help stop the recall and get the word out to vote NO! Ballots will be sent directly to your home and you can drop them off at the county office, mail it in, or drop off at your precinct on 9/14. Stop this gop bullshit!

Even if I vote NO, I should be able to vote for my preferred replacement candidate on question 2 (in case a majority of people vote UES to the recall), correct?

Why would anyone want to keep this elitist failure in office?

Democrats over country, R77. If Hitler were a Democrat, Datalounge would say YES!

The Republican Party of California has been taken over by out of state QAnon conspiracy psychos. This is very dangerous.

Governor Gavin Newsom is hard working. He is intelligent and compassion, and he has common sense policies. We have to keep him in office.

If you are a decent California Registered Republican Voter, PLEASE you have to Vote for Gavin Newsom. This is a dangerous and very expensive recall effort by psychos in the Republican Party. This has to stop.

All Californians have to VOTE NO, on the first question of your ballot. We need all decent and sane Californians to Stop this QAnon back recall.

I got my ballot in the mail today!!!!!

VOTE NO ( on the first question).

STOP THE REPUBLICAN RECALL

Remember, this is the fascist, Qanon and neo nazi fraction of the republican party.

[quote] Governor Gavin Newsom is hard working. He is intelligent and compassion(ate)...sic

As a Dem/Newsom voter, take issue with this statement, R79.

If Newsom were [bold] intelligent[/bold] we would not be going through this expensive, labor-intensive recall in the middle of a burgeoning PANDEMIC.

If Gavin were [bold]compassion(ate)[/bold], he would understand the challenges required in a community when asking the 5th largest economy to go into lockdown during a developing pandemic. And he would NOT then flaunt the very fact that he instated a lockdown by flagrantly defying the lockdown whilst enjoying a very pricy thousand dollar meal at French Laundry restaurant.

No, Gavin Newsom is a fool and is somewhat responsible for this mess we find ourselves embroiled in.

I haven’t decided if I’ll acknowledge this recall as I am very angry with the dolt. If I do, it will be only to prevent an insane sociopathic person from replacing him.

But I will be happy to see the backside of Gavin Newsom.

(* And if he were truly “hard working”, many of those in his populace would have perceived this and been enthusiastic about supporting him. We’re apathetic because he’s been disappointing. Geez, the guy and his team even failed to get the term “Democrat” affiliated with the recall paperwork (due to incomplete/incorrect paperwork filing) and attempted to fix this by going to court to have a judge “enable” him to address his mess.)

For one thing, the homeless encampments you see everywhere in LA now are shocking. It's a stark indictment.

Gavin learned the Trump lesson, only the news cycle counts. Two weeks out, he will rev up for the strong finish.

Nancy has said this is not good for living things.

I wish that I were Californian. I’d vote for Newsom.

Cuomo gone.

California do the right thing—recall Newsom.

Who are you voting for R82? I am recalling but I don't know who to put support behind. I plan to really research the top contenders over the weekend, what they've done, what their positions are, etc.

Faulconer R88. But it’s your choice.

R89, I'm going to laugh when you lose in September.

Good for you.

That is who I am leaning towards as well, R89. He seems the most moderate and sensible. I do want to read up on him more. There is always Angelyne.

Oh no, Gavin is telling Democrats to skip the second question.

[quote] Who are you voting for [R82]? I am recalling but I don't know who to put support behind. I plan to really research the top contenders over the weekend, what they've done, what their positions are, etc.

I’m R82.

Doing the same.

I’m flummoxed about the whole affair. I am a Dem that was generally satisfied with Jerry (Brown) and as with anyone was willing to give Newsom a go. His smug, hypocritical insincerity (and incompetence; and just speaking of the small details - his failure in properly citing himself on the recall ballot - speak volumes.)

As another poster noted, Newsom has privately moaned that CA’s wildfires, homelessness, drought, etc. have no solution. Then GET OUT and let someone else give their best effort; because, Gavin, you seemed too obsessed with preening, doing coke and going to super expensive restaurants with lobbyists whilst your constituents are in a lockdown that YOU mandated.

At this point I am undecided as I don’t want Fascist-level incompetency in the state of CA.

But I don’t want Gavin either.

It’s a no win situation.

[quote] Governor Gavin Newsom is hard working. He is intelligent and compassion, and he has common sense policies. We have to keep him in office.

Anyone who watched that video with him yelling at the reporter knows that's he's an arrogant and entitled POS who thinks that he could do nothing because he sees the other side as being worse. Well, look at what doing nothing has done for California. Record income inequality. Exploding homelessness and skyrocketing housing prices. Record Covid cases despite high restrictions. Silicon Valley getting rich while everyone else gets poor. Fuck this POS.

[quote] . Record income inequality. Exploding homelessness and skyrocketing housing prices

And you think Republicans are going to fix that how exactly?

Democrats aren’t doing it, so time for a change.

R97, you're obviously trolling, but oh, such brilliant logic. Since when have Republicans ever cared about things like income inequality, homelessness, housing prices, etc.?

Since you care about covid cases so much, maybe you should look Florida and Texas and see what a mess Republican governors have made over there.

[quote]you're obviously trolling

You know, fuck off. Just FUCK OFF.

R99, oh no. You brought all the all caps!

So, should I skip the second question or not?

Join Stop the Republican Recall. Even Californian Republicans are stating this dangerous and are voting for Gavin Newsom.

VOTE NO (on the first question.)

ALL HANDS ON DECK!

Come to California Action for more information.

I am voting yes on the recall.

If you don't like Gavin, vote for someone else in 2022 when there's a normal election, but voting for the recall means we could end up with a total nutjob for governor. With 45 of them running, you could get a governor who got a whopping 3 percent of the vote. It's not like there's an obvious winner out of that pile.

The Republicans are fucking nuts--we get one of those and we'll be in the same situation as Texas and Florida with massive death tolls from COVID on our hands.

THe answer on this one is so fucking obvious that I don't believe anyone who says they're a California Democrat, but they're going to vote for the recall. It's clear and obvious Republican/Boris trolling. The whole recall is, actually. The GOP knows anyone that gets elected will get kicked out a year later, but they'll have "owned" the Democrats in the biggest blue state. (And one that's been recovering economically from the pandemic better than most, but the GOP makes sure you don't hear about *that.*)

They don't give a fuck about people dying from COVID. It's fucking pathological.

R104 but the Covid impact is already high so….?

[quote] If Gavin were compassion(ate), he would understand the challenges required in a community when asking the 5th largest economy to go into lockdown during a developing pandemic.

He was compassionate to shut down and prevent millions from dying. It would not have been compassionate to let businesses be open and have a death free-for-all.

R106 OK but what about the impact of people losing their livelihoods and their sanity? Sincere question.

R107, that can’t be a real question unless you’re incredibly studied. So would you choose being alive or having your livelihood not impacted?

R108 Not everyone dies, stupid.

R108 The issue is that the lockdowns and restrictions didn't prevent California from having one of the highest infection rates in the country. There was no enforcement in minority communities because of "lack of education". Meanwhile, responsible law abiding citizens paid the biggest economic price while leadership made excuse after excuse. There was no attempt made to secure the border or even vet those coming in. It was all political theater built on lies and half truths and phony moralizing. If you need any more proof of that, just see how Newsom and his political allies flaunted the rules whenever it suited them.

California's economic "recovery" hasn't trickled down to the masses. We need someone who will take on Silicon Valley, not someone who is in bed with them.

[quote] The issue is that the lockdowns and restrictions didn't prevent California from having one of the highest infection rates in the country.

And can you imagine how high it would have been if he hadn’t shut down? It would have been a disaster with millions more dead.

R111 pure speculation. Bajillions and ZILLIONS!

Thank you R110.

You are right.

It is just that I am frustrated with Newsom. To prevent someone even WORSE (such as those in FLorida/Texas/Alabama/Mississippi), I guess I’ll vote NO on the recall.....,,but I am never, ever voting for the guy again.

I want to see Gavin gone and replaced by a competent Dem: the sooner the better....

-CA Dem (R82 / R94)

I’m voting NO on the recall. Too much is at stake. I’ll just wait until 2022 to vote for a different Dem.

Georgia fought tooth and nail to get us a Dem seat, and we’re just potentially handing it back to Repubs.

[quote]And can you imagine how high it would have been if he hadn’t shut down? It would have been a disaster with millions more dead.

This line of thinking reminds me of Republicans with Iraq. “Can you imagine how awful Iraq would be if Saddam was still in power!?”

Meanwhile Republican Governors are killing Children throughout the south, the red state strong hold. Southern State Pediatric hospitals are overwhelming, in CRISIS.

California Republicans do not want their children to die. They are not the same as the crazies in Southern States. This Republican Parity want American Children to die. This is how they are talking.

VOTE NO ( on the first question of your ballot).

This keeps Governor Gavin Newsom in office. He is science-based, listens to medical teams and scientists, intelligent has helpful policies to get Californians through this and is compassionate.

IF you are DECENT and SANE Californian ( regardless of Political Party), VOTE NO. We need to Keep Gavin Newsom in Office. We need to prevent a Neo-Nazi, Qanon nutjob to take over California, and oversea this state during the unpresented Covid Pandemic. Gavin Newsome is very qualified. We have to keep him.

Hopefully people are the opposite of Bush/Kerry and don’t fall for hyperbole that only made things WORSE.

People are forgetting Newsom is not getting recall by Democrats. Three Republican counties in the North are responsible for most of the signatures.

VOTE NO (on the first question of the ballot). We have to keep Governor Gavin Newsom in office.

Join Stop the Republican Recall, website and twitter for correct information

Join California Action.

We need all Democrats to vote, and sane and decent California Republicans to Vote NO.

Newsom is the new Bush so, don’t worry—he’ll probably be safe. 🙄🙄🙄

Gavin is cracking.

Gavin is a steady hand. I am the one who is freaking out. Many Californians are. This is serious.

People don’t know how to vote—they just don’t vote correctly so I anticipate Newsom NOT getting recalled. He needs to go but of course he probably won’t.

R122 McKinnon Broadcasting is rightwing.

I'll be voting yes on the recall. What do we have to lose? Vote Falconer. He has supported the LBBT community on marriage rights. I don't see a down side to trying someone new. He's a trial run. If he sucks, we vote someone better in 2022.

Nye, Felicia!

Vote NO (on the first question of the ballot).

Gavin Newsom is a GREAT Governor. He is science-based, has common sense policies and is compassionate. This recall effort is dangerous. This crop of Republicans attacked the capitol and are want Children to die. Californians Democratic and Republicans are Decent and Sane people.

We all have to stop them.

VOTE NO (on the first question of the ballot)

R126, What do we have to lose? Millions of lives. Reversal of our progress on dealing with climate change. A functional government since the Democrat supermajority and a loony GOP governor (pretty much guaranteed by the sheer number of candidates and lack of a front runner). I'm a lifelong Californian, I remember years and years of gridlock when very basic needed laws weren't getting passed.

And if you think a fringe QAnon loon won't go after gay rights, you really don't understand the modern GOP.

[quote] Gavin Newsom is a GREAT Governor....., has common sense policies and is compassionate.

Please, stop with this R127. It’s enough to turn people off who are considering rising from their apathy to vote in the recall for Newsom. This is so obviously far from reality. Gavin is not great, doesn’t show common sense and is not compassionate. You keep throwing this crap out there.

Please don’t piss on us and tell us it’s raining.

The biggest government employees union in California is fighting Gavin's vaccination order.

SEIU is solidly democratic. Not MAGA.

I don’t know who these trolls are actually believe we’re dumb enough to believe Republicans aren’t behind this recall. Stop wasting your energy. It’s just an obvious grab from the Republicans, AND WE CAN SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU.

R131 And?

AND we see right through you. Can’t you read?

[quote] This line of thinking reminds me of Republicans with Iraq. “Can you imagine how awful Iraq would be if Saddam was still in power!?”

You dumb fuck, Covid isn’t based on a lie. Get fucked, shit for brains.

R134 Is right. We won't let children commit MURDER!

Gavin is hot, smart, very muscular, and sexy. He'll survive.

I'm not excited by Newson, but at least he listened to scientists. And I know the other side won't. That's enough for me. I'm tied of the crazies. The rest ("in bed with silicon valley" etc...), not as important to me. So I'll vote NO on the recall.

I like that Youtuber.

[quote] Gavin Newsom on Shaky Ground

And for years the "science" said it was inevitable so deal with it.

Newsom is so compassionate that he is sending males into women's prisons that are now being raped and getting pregnant. I want him out. But I will probably wait until 2022 to vote against him. He is an oily creep and every time I think of him I believe he and his ex were made for each other.

Voted for Elder today and it felt good.

he is actually doing a good job.

Sorry, Democrats — Latino anger toward Republicans isn’t enough to save Newsom’s political hide

Gavin is cooked. Th Instagram influencers have turned on him.

R144 Neither they nor their followers will get around to voting. Old white people vote. Right now, the Democrats are dominating the turned-in ballots, but we'll see, since Repugs like day-of voting.

Kamala Harris has cancelled her appearance with Gavin Newsom and is headed directly to DC. She is in discussion with SecDef Austin while midair.

25th Amendment discussions perhaps

Hey R146, fuck you and your stupid comment.

Is Biden still going to do that rally with Newsom? I can't believe that would be of any help now.

I think it would and Biden should go. If he did go, I’d think differently about Newsom.

Let a Rep have a chance. The homeless encampments will remain. Home prices are will continue to soar. The wildfires will still rage.

But maybe some MAGAts will get it out of their systems.

Pakman talks about the recall...

R150 And end up with kids dying of COVID because the ICUs are overwhelmed as they are in Texas and Florida? Let some fringe nutcase of a radio host try to head the fifth largest economy in the world as a starter political job? No fucking way.

Rich celebrities will save California from the commoners

Well, right now, with 11 percent of the ballots returned, Democrats are outvoting Republicans 2:1. Both Democrats and Republicans are overperforming, independents underperforming.

As long as the Democrats come out in the same percentages as the Republicans, Newsom's in good shape. Polling is also looking better with likely voters opposing the recall 57:42.

[r154] what data is this?

To me, it looks like everyone if freaking out on the Democratic side. Dems need to vote in mass. Turn out the vote against this shady and dangerous recall effort and support Gavin Newsom.

This means: VOTE NO on first question on your ballot. But Californians do need to get a ballot and VOTE NO. Then, return the ballot properly. Also, we need sane Republicans and Independents to also VOTE NO (on the first question).

R153 That article has a chart of all the bigwigs who gave big bucks to Gavin. Head of Netflix gave 3 million. Down at the bottom is Babs Streisand, who coughed up $2500.

[quote] Babs Streisand, who coughed up $2500

And then she painted Gavin's microphone white

To summarize Nate says that 48.8% of California voters oppose the recall. Removal of first-term Gov. Gavin Newsom is backed by 47.6%.. That is to say too close to call.

19.3% of voters would replace Newsom with Republican Larry Elder.

Democrat Kevin Paffrath is second at 9.1%, followed by Republican John Cox at 6.1%, among the replacement candidates.

I wonder if the California democratic party now wishes Gavin hadn't prevented any name democrats from being placed on the ballot.

California reporters criticize Gavin Newsom for dodging them in favor of national media interviews 'It's a habit of Newsom's to focus more on national outlets than the ones that ... serve his constituents most'"When in doubt, go to the national media," fellow writer Jeremy White added.

"The governor has repeatedly declined Sacramento press access, including every interview I've asked for this year. He much prefers national media, if you look at his calendars. Meanwhile, he has avoided the Sacramento Press Corps for much of the recall campaign," Kaiser Health News correspondent Angela Hart claimed.

I hope Joe goes and supports him.

I hope Democratic Registered Voters Turn Out the Vote, and vote NO. Voting No means you are against the recall and we keep Gavin Newsom. This is a dangerous recall effort by the fascists arm of the republican party. I hope sane republicans and independents VOTE NO too. He is a great governor, we have having a deadly pandemic and they want to cause chaos.

Who the fuck sign that petition? I am so angry. This is not funny. Lives are on the line. They need to make it right, and VOTE NO too.

Vote No (on first question on your ballot.) GET your ballot and VOTE. ALL HANDS ON DECK!

Vote NO

Republicans behind this shady recall effort what to turn California into a Covid Hellscape. They want suffering and dying children. This is what they are stating. This is also causing chaos in California, and costings Californians a fortune. This was not a normally scheduled election. This should never had happened. This money could have been used to help people through Covid.

Everyone VOTE NO against the recall and keep Gavin Newsom. Vote NO, on first question of your ballot.

R155 Ballots are dropped off with party registration attached. The Republicans have been counting on Democrats not bothering to vote. That doesn't look like what's happening. Carla Marinucci is a writer for Politico.

FYI Nate Silver doesn't do polling, he aggregates and analyzes. There was a bad Survey USA poll back at the beginning of August where Newsom was behind by 9. Survey USA is an A-rated pollster, but even the best pollsters can get an outlier. Every other poll shows Newsom hanging on. No one's expecting high turn-out, but mail-in ballots will help boost turn-out. Newsom is focusing on turning out his base rather than independent voters who are less likely to vote. Democrats have a huge registration advantage over Republicans.

Pollsters and pundits were assuming that Democratic turn-out would be low compared to GOP turn-out because they're less enthusiastic about the recall (can't imagine why) However, the GOP candidate roster is such a fucking shit show that Democrats in NoCal, at least, are getting out. Every bit of bad COVID news out of Florida and Texas helps Newsom. A dinner at the French Laundry doesn't look so bad next to a crazed governor trying to ban mask mandates in schools.

The last Republican who won a statewide election in California was Schwarzenegger more than 10 years ago--and Arnie wasn't a death-cult loon.

Desperation ploy failed.

Federal judge rejects lawsuit that sought to block Gavin Newsom’s recall election

If early voting is going for NO that is a good sign. I thought Republicans are all absentee? Who wants to show up to a polling place with Delta+ spreading around?

R159 Kaiser Health News correspondent? She thinks she can get interviews with the governor whenever she wants? You've got to be fucking kidding. The fucking house organ for a corporation?

Fox is looking for any way they can to smear Newsom, but this one is a particular level of pathetic. There is NO politician in the country who won't give priority to the major news organizations over a corporate rag or the Dixon Daily Democrat. You've got to be one seriously naive and stupid reporter to even talk about it to Fox. Yeesh.

this is not official data.

We need all Democratic Registered Voters to get your ballot and VOTE NO. Voting NO means you are against the recall and this keeps Gavin Newsom in Office. He is hard working and extremely qualified. He is working his ass off for us. It is very impressive.

Moreover, we need SANE republican and independents to Vote NO too.

ALL HANDS ON DECK!

Vote CA! I still just don't get what he did that was so wrong

R166 Republicans were absentee, but Dump made them all so anxious about voter fraud that more of them are day-of and drop-off. However, since it's such a weird election there aren't very many polling places. There's one in my city of 65,000. There are a number of drop-off ballot boxes as well as the mail-in option.

That said, Dump's not part of this, so there's not the same push to vote in-person on election day, so I don't actually think there's going to be a GOP-saving surge on election day since both Democrats and Republicans are turning out in above average numbers already.

It is mostly old white people, which helps Republicans but only to a certain extent--California has a bunch of old white liberals, particularly in the Bay area.

Basically, the GOP has to convince independents to vote for the recall--they got the Mexicans to vote for Schwarzenegger and both Blacks and Mexicans to vote for Prop 8 (anti-gay marriage), but for the most part they aren't that successful. Blacks do vote, but they're not a big chunk of the electorate. Asians are pretty good about voting--they're reliable moderate Democrats, but a lot of them hate affirmative action. Newsom hasn't done anything to trigger them. The Mexicans will undervote as usual.. No one's really reaching out to them.

I hope he and Justin Trudeau both wind up in a trans prison.

Of course you do, r171, of course you do. You also "voted for Hillary and Biden" and think "Biden committed treason". Bless your heart.

Dr. Drew Pinsky, a board-certified internist, TV host, and podcaster, told "The Brian Kilmeade Show" Friday he expects California Gov. Gavin Newsom to be recalled after his "mishandling" of the coronavirus pandemic.

"You can't imagine what life is like in California…you don't get how bad it is, and that's why [Newsom’s] in trouble," Dr. Drew told Fox News's Brian Kilmeade. "You need only walk out of your house to see how things are deteriorating…It's so astonishing that the average person just can't abide by it any longer…I'll be surprised if he's not recalled."

"It doesn't matter on…what side of the partisan divide you are [on]. Everyone in California knows how horrible life is there and how disgusting things have gotten," Dr. Drew continued. "Disgust is a very powerful emotion. It makes people change."

Newsom has long been criticized for his handling of the pandemic, including strict coronavirus lockdowns, slammed for decimating businesses, and requiring students to wear masks in the classroom.

"There was so much incompetence on the part of the public health officials in Los Angeles and the government…the mayor…the governor," Dr. Drew added. "[Officials] closed our beaches and parks, the exact environment where they should have been encouraging the population to go, outdoors, breathe fresh air, exercise."

---------------------

That should nail down the Latinx vote for certain

[quote]they got the Mexicans to vote for Schwarzenegge

Except he lost the Mexican/Latin vote.

R174, it's more about the percentage of the vote--Arnie got around a third of the Hispanic vote, which is a lot for a Republican and more than the overall percentage of Democrats who voted for him (18 percent).

I don't see Elder having that kind of pull. Also, at the time of the recall, Gov. Grey Davis' ratings were in the 20s. Newsom's most recent approval rating (end of July) was 56 percent.

10 percent of the ballots have been returned, which is good news for Newsom.

I'm not worried at all. As long as people are voting with ballots, and not in person, Newsom will win! This stupid vote is a waste of time.

Make that 16 percent. 19 percent of Democrats have returned theirs, 16 percent of the Republicans, 12 percent of the independents. The number of returned ballots from Democrats is more than that of the GOP and independents combined. Mostly old white voters.

Even a bigger waste of money, r176...

That batshit drew pinsky is a psychiatrist. His focus is abusive addiction therapy. Addiction is chemical and involuntary. Many of his patients have died, including committed suicide under his care.

He does not specialize in disease, virology, immunology or public health.

He is a big TV WHORE. He will say anything on tv if gets paid. He has no credibility among the scientific or medical community.

In other words Arnold won because of the white vote.

We need more Democratic Register Voters, sane Republicans and Independents to VOTE.

VOTE NO, against the recall and keep Gavin Newsom in office. He is intelligent, extremely qualified and hard working.

VOTE NO, on first question of the ballot.

Californians we need you. ALL HANDS ON DECK!

Newsom will win or lose depending on how Latinos vote. They are the reason he won last time. We'll see what they decide this time around.

Gavin Newsom is doing a great job, during a extremely difficult time. No one else is qualified on that stupid list. Why the fuck is this happening? Who signed that covid hoax petition? Make it right, Vote NO. We have to keep Gavin Newsom in office. HE is keeping us safe. Here is more information:

R183, "Gavin Newsom is doing a great job"...okay , this has to be a gag post. Nobody thinks he is doing a great job, they just don't want a republican.

What about that Youtuber?

Go back to watching Greg Gutfeld, r184. Your trolling in this thread is tiresome.

Gavin pantomimes pretending to care about homeless people

Maybe he wants to be recalled?

r187 pretending to *not* be a troll.

California governor finally goes ALL IN, rips Florida & Texas governors (Gavin Newsom interview)

I would like to congratulate or condole Gavin by licking his balls and working my way up. You know it's a big one.

Gavin discovers side effects of campaigning with homeless bums

White progressives and their surrogates are perceived as arrogant and out of touch. In a one party state a recall is the only way to send them a message.

[quote] Newsom has long been criticized for his handling of the pandemic, including strict coronavirus lockdowns, slammed for decimating businesses, and requiring students to wear masks in the classroom.

Um, those are the reasons why he SHOULDN’T be recalled. No one wants a free-for-all COVID haven like Florida.

Exactly, r194. The troll posts on the Newsom threads are so blatant.

Right, r193, those white progressives are trying to bring an end to Democracy!!!

The majority of those posting in this thread are anti newsom. The one spamming this thread with the do not recall is the one trolling.

Gay white wokes are indeed a problem.

You're so full of shit, r197. We get it, you "already voted for Elder". You probably don't even live in CA. Keep on trollin'.

Hopefully the word has gotten out to vote NO so we don’t end up with a crazy R governor who ruins things before being voted out. I enjoyed the NYT The Daily podcast on the recall, as both reporters tried their best to not act horrified at the candidates trying to replace Newsom.

They didn't burst out laughing over Angelyne, r200?

I thought the job of journalists was to hold all these motherfuckers accountable, not act horrified at the idea of their side losing.

They wouldn't act horrified, dipshit @ r202, if the people running were even halfway appropriate.

I’ve flipped through the voter guide, fucko at R203. Yeah some goof candidates but also people willing to at least put themselves out there. But please enjoy your vapid “journalists.”

That's all it takes for you, r204, "willing to at least put themselves out there"?

R205 If you lived in California, you’d at least see why there is discontent with the status quo.

I do live in California, r206. That's why as a rational person, I'm voting NO.

R207 No you don't. It's immaterial anyway, you'll likely get all your Gavin-y hopes and dreams fulfilled. So relax.

Do we have any updates on early voting?

Beware the red wave on Election Day - and of course cheating

VOTE NO (on first question).

Against the recall.

Keep Gavin Newsom in office. He is working very hard for us. I like him.

[quote] I thought the job of journalists was to hold all these motherfuckers accountable, not act horrified at the idea of their side losing.

It is the job of 𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔 to hold all these motherfuckers accountable. We 𝒋𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒔 are all cheerleaders for our side.

Voted "No" today. Wrote in Eleni Kounalakis, the Lt. Gov. I understand it won't really count unless she's willing to be a write-in candidate, but it's my way of protesting the stupidity of this recall.

Democrats continue to outstrip Republicans in both actual numbers and percentage who have voted. 19 percent of registered Democrats have voted, 16 percent of the Republicans, 12 percent of the independents. More Democrats have voted than GOP and indies combined. 16 percent of all ballots have been returned, which is just a bit behind the numbers for the 2020 presidential election.

While one poll had 16 percent of Biden voters saying they'd vote for the recall, overall this is good news for Newsom--registered Democrats don't want a Florida or Texas COVID disaster, which is what a Republican would mean.

𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

SACRAMENTO, CA—Larry Elder's campaign for governor of California was thrown into turmoil today after Gavin Newsom's anti-recall campaign produced never-before-seen yearbook photos showing Larry Elder wearing blackface.

"This is beyond the pale," said French Chef Pierre D’issoir, who is running Newsom's campaign. "Not only is Larry Elder totally a white supremacist, but we now have proof that he wore blackface as a young man in college! Absolument honteux!"

Newsom will be spending $12 million in predominately black areas of Southern California to remind black voters that Elder is a fake black person—and that pasty white millionaire, winery owner, and French cuisine connoisseur Gavin Newsom is a better choice for the black community than Larry Elder.

"Sometimes we need to spend millions of dollars to remind minorities what's best for them," said Newsom. "Right now, what's best for them is being locked in their homes and given forced vaccinations. Larry Elder will try to come in and offer to lower their taxes, give them jobs, and heal their communities, but the thing that really matters here is that he wore blackface."

The scandal deepened later that afternoon when Larry Elder made an appearance, still wearing blackface.

Fuck the Babylon Bee, and fuck you for posting it.

Newsom has never been on "shaky ground". He's a progressive governor in a deep blue state, and Latinos LOVE him.

Latinos don’t love him, according to polls

Um, they voted for him droves, R217. Polls are useless after 2016.

Vote NO, r214.

18 percent of the ballots in--Democrats have returned 21 percent of their outstanding ballots, Republicans 18 percent, indies 14 percent. Voters continue to skew old and white, though the middle-aged are making headway.

The GOP can't pull this off on its own--they need indies and the indies don't look like they're turning out in great numbers.

For those who think there will be a miracle day-of voting turn-out--unlikely. There are very few polling places compared to earlier elections. Plenty of drop-off boxes for those who don't trust the mails, but in-person voting options are really limited. In my county, there are 19 polling places and more than a million registered voters.

Per the CA Secretary of State

"California has shattered state registration records "

The break down as of 8/30 from Rob Pyers' twitter gathered from the Ca SOS:

Eyes on Los Angeles: 942,794k returned. This number alone offsets most of the Red ballots cast through the state as of 8/30. Los Angeles usually breaks 35%+ Democrat. They are @ 16% returned. If they can double that by election day Gavin should win.

The other significant counties to watch are San Diego, San Benito, San Bernardino, Santa Clara, Sacramento, Riverside, San Francisco, and Orange.

The outcome will come down to LA County Latino voters. Did Gavin Newsom and Democrats effectively campaig with L.A Latino voters? Amazingly the answer is NO, not surprising if you have followed how Democrats usually ignore the Latin communities throughout the Southwest. Local Hispanic organizations are doing most of the heavy lifting for Democrats. They'll come through for Democrats as they are a reliable Democratic block, but the take away is not something positive. Some of these politicians will learn the hard way that you cannot keep ignoring one of the biggest blocks that puts you in power. I don't think we are that far away from a Latino governor (Democratic, Independent, or Republican).

VOTE NO (on the first question of your ballot). There are 2 questions on this ballot, the first question VOTE NO.

The second question leave blank. A write in does not count. The people on that list are not sane. They are not qualified for this position.

VOTE NO (on first question on your ballot).

Gavin's intern is working hard, pounding home the message. All hands on dick!

R223 Not that kind of election. The focus is on getting out the base. The Republicans haven't won a statewide race in California in more than 10 years. The GOP was hoping that this weird election would be ignored by most voters, particularly as Republicans were more enthusiastic about the recall than other groups. HOWEVER, if there's normal turn-out, the Republicans lose. Not extraordinary, all hands on deck, just ordinary.

The majority of voters in California are older white people. They, not surprisingly, make up most of the GOP, but they're also the largest chunk of the state Democratic party as well. There are nearly a million more white Democrats than Republicans in the state. Throw in your reliable Asian and Black voting base and you have your majority. Latinos are a nice add to the mix, but they consistently undervote. (And a lot of them aren't eligible.)

The biggest split is gender. Which is why Elizabeth Warren came out to play. Women like her and Newsom wants women to vote.

Independent voters also tend to skew more toward Democrats than Republicans.

It has been predicted to be close, but I'm now thinking Newsom will beat the recall by bigger margins than people think. Too much craziness in the GOP hellholes of Texas and Florida.

Democrats are finally waking up

Early voter turnout, new polling look good for Newsom

Will Kamala fly out to help Gavin? Is that good or bad? I don't think Joe is a good idea.

Plant

Boris!

Imagine the media and police firestorm if this had been done by some racist masked white to a black democratic candidate.

^^^^Where have we seen this before? Here:

Livestream on this happening now:

Vote NO

^^^^This is about as good a look for the Ds as the Satanists 'helping out' in Texas by claiming abortion is a religious ritual.

Aw, poor Larry...vote NO.

If this happened in the UK those racists in the ape masks would each get 5 years minimum for racially aggravated assault.

It appears that the Republican fuckery will go down by double digits.

We're not gonna take it...

What are you going to do, r243, dress up as an ape in order to scream racial abuse at the black candidate in the race?

R244 Awww is Trumptard having a little tantrum because he's about to lose again

Larry Elder totally staged that gorilla bit.

No liberal would dress as a gorilla to taunt a black man. Only a Repug would think of that.

This ain't the UK, r242...deal with your own country and keep your nose out of ours.

Still voting NO, silly troll.

I'm sure BLM will be along ANY MINUTE to protect this black life.

It’s so obviously fake

Not gonna work, troll. The majority of Californians will be voting NO. Your desperation is showing...

Even though the media was trying to hype the election the numbers always favored Newsom. When you poll Southern California Newsom always had the numbers because Los Angeles county and Southern California are home to the second largest democratic block in the state, Latinos. We go through this every election cycle and every election cycle it is proven right. It's never close because Democrats are favored 66-75% among Latino households. When polls overrepresent Northern California and its red counties you get polls that are much closer between the two parties. When you factor the whole state Democrats make ground on Republicans.

Remember always look at the raw data when reading polls. Los Angeles county has Newsom between Good and Excellent. It is exactly where you want him to be in your biggest county. Then, look at the Leading GOP hopeful polling at 26%. The low index number tells you there is not enough enthusiasm among Republican voters for any of their candidates. There is a lack of incentive for Republicans to overtake Democratic voters in the election. It's a nice wake-up call for California Democratic politicians, but Newsom was never in a losing position. Then you have people spreading disinformation about the likeability of Democrats in the state, how the recall came to be, or making false statements about Latinos and other minority and their voting patterns. People have to learn to recognize the misinformation so they can put it aside and vote to their benefit. Part of the goal is to demoralize Democratic voters into not voting: "oh well, it seems like everyone wants him out. My vote won't change the outcome." By now we should know better, ignore the noise and vote and help the people around you vote. Drive them if you have to.

Bonus: The white woman in the ape mask who threw the punch screamed in a Southern Accent and someone else called him "Son" in the video.

The similarities to 1960's Dems terrorizing black people walking down the street during desegregration only grow....

Stop lying and rewriting history, asshole

[quote] Bonus: The white woman in the ape mask who threw the punch screamed in a Southern Accent and someone else called him "Son" in the video.

More proof Elder faked this

The way the Nazis are pushing this fake assault makes it look so obviously a fraud.

They knew it was coming and were ready to pounce.

And they were all ready with the “Dems after the civil war” line, like it was pre-fed to them.

Does Elder really think anyone but Repugs are stupid enough to fall for this obvious street theater?

He’s more of a Nazi idiot than I thought.

I didn't think to check. Did The View express their outrage over this racist attack?

Wow, you Repugs are desperate to make this bullshit relevant

OMG, r265....you're actually pulling that nothingburger out as...what...ammunition? You're so desperate your posts drip in flop sweat.

Joy got into deeper hot water when she criticized Christians for thinking they were good enough for God to talk to.

Talking to god is one thing, Him talking back is for crazy people.

[Fuck Christians, they have sold out Jesus for 30 Nielsen points.]

And Joy apologized for purely ABC/Disney financial reasons...

If the Elder thing wasn’t faked, why wasn’t she arrested?

Maybe a trick? All’s fair at this point.

We need more people to VOTE NO (on the first question of your ballot). We have to keep Gavin Newsom in office. This larry elder guy is nuts and they rest are not at all qualified. There is a serious pandemic, and this virus is mutating. We have to keep the science guy. He is extremely qualified for this office.

All Hands on Deck! Please get your ballot to vote. We need you. All Democratic Voters please vote no. We need sane and responsible Republicans and Independents to vote no too.

VOTE NO!

A racist attack on the black guy by a white person in a gorilla mask? Never heard of it.

Newsom will be fine. He's running against an old nigger which none of us want. even if we are republicans,

Fuck off, Boris

Oh no!

Anyway ...

Nobody is buying Republican crap. Losers are losers.

Democrats are energized for midterms again.

2022 will be 2018 all over again.

THAT'S why Republicans NEED to cheat and lie.
