Is the latimes getting worried that a Republican or 2 might win in Calfornia?

At first glance, I read that "Is the latrine getting worried..." I was not familiar with that shorthand for the democrat machine, but the phrase was perfectly understandable.
The system “works” only if the deck is stacked.
liberals generally don’t like democracy. it’s antithetical to centralized control.
It’s a stupid idea, anyway. Primaries should be closed so that party members can choose their nominees.
I’ll go out out on a limb and guess that the Times didn’t have a problem whenever two Democrats wound up being the general election choice, but now they’re all worried about how Democrat voters won’t have a chance to knock off a Republican in a swing district.
They’re not even subtle. They should just call for the banning of the Republican Party. You know, because it harmful — “The Republican Party is known by the state of California to... blah, blah, blah.....”
Jungle Primary?
Never heard of that before, I must admit!
They thought it was working when it selected two Democrats. Now that its potentially going to select two Republicans it isnt working.
Sounds racist to me.
Here’s a pretty good link to the specific California House races that the dems are worried about.

Louisiana has used this kind of primary since 1975. I think Washington State is now using it too.
As I posted earlier, as soon as the Jungle Primary starts denying Democrats a place on the ballot of “important” races, the Democrats will sue (and a judge will agree) that the Jungle Primary effectively takes away the votes of minorities. I believe the same of the so-called state compact end-around the Electoral College. As soon as it denies a Democrat the Presidency, the Democrat-dominated state legislatures will simply annul their states’ participation and award the electoral votes to the Democrat who won their states’ votes. They are playing a “heads I win, tails you lose” game here.
Here in San Francisco I only get a choice between two Democrats. Honestly I feel disenfranchised.
The entire state of Massachusetts is very similar, but it involves all political races, at each and every level. Being a Republican in Massachusetts is bad, but being a conservative Republican in Massachusetts is much, much worse!

Ur doon it rong
Conmelist bore me with all the baby killing anti American drivel so if you see one terminate.
That’s fair to me.
Not true. You do have a choice. You can have the Socialist or the Communist. Sad to say, but the rest of the Bay Area is slowly getting the same way.
