    Au contraire.
    Lesser of Two evils? That not even remotely true. Trump is the most corrupt, lawless, reckless, incompetent president in history ( or that I can recall and my memory goes back to Eisenhower ) Biden is the clear cut better choice, and a number of sensible conservatives are voting for Biden, only the wisdom deficient are voting for Trump now (

    And for CA...
    Hardly, CA is the 5th largest economy in the world, and if you want to toss 'homeless' at CA, it's not CA's fault it has best climate in the USA, whereupon hte homeless come here, and in many states, they give them money and a bus ticket to CA.

    Before covid, CA had a multibillion dollar surplus, it is one of the states that sends more to the Treasury than it takes back ( more blue states than red do this ) and there is more wealth in this state than there is in any red state, that is certain. Little things don't get noticed, and I noticed them when I was a child, such as, growing up going to public schools, school books were free. I spent a year in Miami, and I was surprised that my father had to buy all of our schoolbooks. There is overcrowding and hihg prices for housing in the big cities, but that's because of capitalism, supply and demand, 40,000,000 choose to live here, and those that don't, they have reevaluated their need for more space in housing versus living in a beautiful climate friendly state, and have decided they need a bigger home and to do that one must move. That's okay, but that's the nature of the thing. I've lived in NYC, Illinois, Florida, Mississippi, Texas and California, and for me, CA wins hands down.

    Not to mention it is a beautiful state with a to die for coast line ( noting CA's wisdom to not cave in to oil interests).

    That isn't a great comeback. One comment is ******y and the others are straight up RACIST. From the party that loves to race bait and make EVERYTHING about race, its shameful that you overlook these RACIST comments as no big deal.

    Trump has been accused by 26 women (both repubs and dems, most very credible) of sexual assault.
    And Tara Reid is not credible, so this idea of 'both' doesn't square with reality.

    Trump's election does not equal the will of the people, moreover, given interstate crosscheck program which purged 1.1 million mostly blacks from the voter registration rolls in 2016, given that republican judges denied Jill Stein's recount, which would have counted many of the provisional ballots that purged voters were required to fill out, noting that the purged count in the swing states was ten fold greater than Trump's 'victory' in those states, I can't say with conviction that Trump is a legitimate president and he sure as hell isn't wanted by the majority of the electorate. He's certainly trying to suppress the vote in the current election, he has a lawsuit in over 40 states, the gist of each suit is to erect barriers to the vote.

    Having the 5th largest economy in the world makes the poor results even more inexcusable. The surplus you speak of doesn't put a dent in the debt and many CA cities were on the brink of insolvency before Covid. . CA is the poverty capitol of the US, has a huge gap between the rich and poor, and schools rank with the lowest. The majority of homeless are locals.

    Yes, the weather is great, but results speak for themselves. Democrats criticizing Trumps leadership are not pointing with clean hands.

    You will get the govt you deserve. Idiots deserve both Trump and Biden.

    Trump didn't keep promises. He failed. Biden has dementia. Like the party he is.a.member of.

    It's been trending that way ever since the advent of Faux and conservative talk radio in the 80's. Blame Reagan for the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine.

    Your point is idiotic. About the same point first supported American Independence 1775.

    Quite the indictment of democrats that they can't pierce his armor. Maybe Democrats shouldn't have spent the entire election talking about Trump 24/7. Rachel Maddow is starting to get that Oh No 2016 Again look in the corner of her eye.

    The DP should be able to stuff enough ballot boxes to win PA, and they stopped counting in Fulton County - must not have liked the voting trend there. ;-)

    Agreed!

    It was only because the extremist rightwing had already taken control of the GOP that enabled the wannabe Fascist-in-Chief to end up infesting the Oval office.
