Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey aroused controversy after labeling a Medium article “great” that claimed there’s no “bipartisan way forward” in the United States and that the country is engaged in a “fundamental conflict between two worldviews that must be resolved in short order.”
Dorsey shared the Medium article on his personal Twitter account Thursday night, with the accompanying acclaim that it was a “great read.”
Author and media consultant Peter Leyden and political commentator Ruy Teixeira argued in the article titled “The Great Lesson of California in America’s New Civil War” that America is already in the midst of a second major domestic conflict of sorts and the way out is for the rest of the country to imitate California.
“In this current period of American politics, at this juncture in our history, there’s no way that a bipartisan path provides the way forward,” they wrote. “The way forward is on the path California blazed about 15 years ago.”

Reduce California’s EV’s and House representatives proportionally - by the amount of disputed DMV registrations.
They’ll pay attention when their political footprint is on par with Rhode Island.
We wouldn’t be punishing the illegals by just asking. It would only affect the state government’s ability to serve nonconstituents.
Jack et al are content to let you wait, while they make the changes they want (register noncitizens to vote, load up the welfare system, tangle opponents in red tape & pointless arguments), and brainwash the masses at large.
