Twitter CEO Shares And Raves About Article Calling For Dem Victory In Second ‘Civil War’
The Daily Caller ^ | 04/07/18 | Joe Simonson

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.”

Essentially, the authors called for a complete marginalization of the Republican Party and its voters since they only care “about rule by and for billionaires at the expense of working people” and not “average citizens.”

California, despite its mass wealth inequality, growing lack of social cohesion, poverty, and soaring housing costs “provides a model for America as a whole,” according to Leyden and Teixeira. Interestingly enough, they claimed the state’s economy is booming, although arguably not for long. They also oddly claimed the state is running on surpluses without acknowledging its debt crisis.

“The public is happy with its political leaders,” they noted. However, California Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, has a 44 percent approval rating. The article also does not acknowledge...

SF officials have voted to put them up in hotels for up to 3 years. I wonder if the hotels have any choice in this matter?
I night seriously consider burning MY hotel to the ground if I had one there.

You are being far too generous. No more than 2 years, IMO.

Spoken by a brainwashed liberal BILLIONAIRE.

Oh, he knows. But he’ll only care when he no longer has a security detail.

90 percent of the 44 percent are illegal registered voters. Americans have no say anymore in California.

California votes should not count in any national election until they fix their corrupt DMV voting scheme. Null and void.

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.

The census 'Are you a citizen' question will have some impact on California representation. That's why their leftards are fighting it.

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. They don’t want a shooting war, they want analysis paralysis for the opposition.
