    Just think, if Democrats don't vote for Jenner, then they are transphobic misogynists, and that's the only reason they won't vote for Jenner.

    Of course they are transphobic misogynists, though they claim they aren't.
    But the only reason they won't vote for Jenner, is because she's a Republican.

    The populous of California have turned so stupid in their thinking, they believe Pelosi is a great leader
    even though her district has more homeless and indigent than a whole 32 other states combined.

    Calling them transphobic misogynists hurts them worse than saying they won't vote for Jenner because she's a Republican.

    Not all of us in California thinks highly of Pelosi. I'm sure my opinion of her can be found somewhere in all these posts. California politics are control by two counties, Marin County (San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose) and Los Angeles County, the other fifty six counties in California would turn California Republican. 2 counties versus 56 counties and the 56 loses, this would happen to the entire country if Electoral College was abolished.

    Correct, kind of. If each of them got a SINGLE vote.

    The problem is many different errors in your argument.

    Biggest? SF is San Francisco County not Marin. Oakland is Alemeda, not Marin. San Jose is Santa Clara County not Marin county.

    Now. LA County had TEN MILLION people. Alameda 1.6 M. SF 847k. Santa Clara? 1.9 million. So the FOUR counties you listed as 2? Have around 14.5 million people. In additon San Diego tends to go blue more often than red, so 5 counties and additional 3.3 million. So 17.8 Million. Those 5 Counties have us at almost half the state. Politics in this nation are not decided by how many miles of the map are a color. San Bernadino is slight blue. Another 2.2 million. And that is half the population and 6 counties. Fresno is a toss up and I will give you that one for the sake of it goes red more than blue. Marin is another 220k. Seven of 56 are over half the state.

    There is no such thing as San Francisco County, it doesn't exist. California started going Blue as the Federal Government started closing the military bases in California. The more bases they closed the bluer the state got. And the bases were closed by Democrats. San Francisco, San Jose, and Oakland are like Minneapolis and St Paul.

    I looked up the information posted about San Francisco County and the internet says that it is a county, but I've lived in California for almost 60 years and San Francisco was never a county. I was last in San Francisco in the year 2000 and it was not a county then. I don't know when they changed the internet to say that it is.

    "San Francisco was the county seat of San Francisco County, one of state's 18 original counties since California's statehood in 1850"

    So sayeth the internet...

    Looking at the map, it seems San Francisco County has the same borders as modern day San Francisco City, its interesting how back in 1850, they knew exactly what the limits of 2021 San Francisco City would be. Its also interesting that every other county in California encompasses more area than one city.

    My friends are telling me that the Newsom Camp has started a petition drive where if you sign this new petition, there is a provision that if you also signed the recall petition, your name will be removed from the recall petition and not counted for the recall total.

    It figures.

    Makes some, strange but logical sense. Same name on two petitions. A hard lesson in "read what you sign" for people that want it. But sign both. As long as the signatures match.
