Chamath Palihapitiya would be wise not to be a write-in candidate.
I just saw his name involved in the wild escapes going on with Gamestop Stock
It was halted multiple times today.
Chamath Palihapitiya sounds like an very unpleasant venereal disease.
What could go wrong.
I follow this guy very closely. He’s brilliant and has a very good, no BS mindset. I’m assuming that he’s a Dem, and given that I can imagine no better Dem. Joke away, but as a country we could do so, so, so much worse.
In Washington State the petitioner is responsible for all the upfront costs and attorney fees and must present a list of charges to the state supreme court for adjudication. If they approve any or all of the charges then the recall can move forward.
The petitioner then has a limited time frame to circulate a petition to the voters (the number of signers is a percentage of voters in the prior election) to get the measure on the ballot, provided all of the signatures are verified as voters, again while fronting all of the cost for the petition, verification process, and the election.
This guy is a huge Democratic donor. Yep, he’s trying to offset the recall campaign.
Why is he not running for office in India?
This is funny. Newsom's unpopularity has ZERO to do with the vaccine rollout. It's his lockdown policies and "do as I say, not as I do" hypocrisy. The current recall was initiated well before the vaccine was even authorized.
On the contrary. this is the best possible news to actually get Newsom out of office.
Recall petition is now at 77 percent with a month and a half left.
The vote is going to happen.
The Dem strategy was to not have a big name DEM on the ballot. And turn the recall vote into a partisan vote of “vote for Recall, get a Repub governor”.
But with a big name well financed silicon valley minority immigrant billionaire on the ballot, that will code as DEM for a lot of Dems willing to vote for recall.
He is one of the ‘founders’ of the fwd.us immigration ‘reform’ lobby group.
