People are really getting sick of things like side shows, smash and grab robberies, car breakins. Small businesses are closing because of this. The Alameda County DA doesn’t want to prosecute offenders, victims feel they are not being represented. So given all that, it doesn’t surprise me at all that voters aren’t eager to do any favors for convicted criminals.

I’m making an observation. I didn’t say how I voted, now did I? But go ahead and downvote me. ML folks.

Pfft, America has a Center-Right part and an Extreme-Right party. Just because Republicans call Dems "the left" doesn't make them leftists.

Its been 3 years of a casual stroll and a year of genocide and a mad dash to the right.

The Duopoly is fascist and they have hordes who will dutifully do whatever their masters tell them to.

California would literally burn without slave labor.

Huh, I wonder what led to this failing? The source doesn't elaborate.

Ah, yes. Hurting the homeless. Of course. Silly me.
