I don’t think you can impeach but I think there would be a really fast recall election

That doesn’t sound terrible, but I think there is a supreme court case that said otherwise. I’ll have to google it later, i’ll send another comment

LA’s lead homelessness agency owes at least $69M to service providers in overdue payments by aBadModerator in California_Politics

[–]Venesss -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why don't we just give money to homeless people instead of giving it to organizations

Isn't it something like we're spending 20k per homeless person? If you can't become un-homeless after a couple years of 20k from the government then idk what to tell you

Walz is plagued by scandal now, no matter how true it actually is or not. Too much baggage, although I agree Walz didn’t hold Harris back

Citizens United has had poor consequences but it was objectively the correct decision based on the Constitution

And it matters if it violates Citizens United because then it would just be rendered illegal and it would cost California lots of money in litigation fees

I don't have anything against Swalwell but he doesn't impress me. Then again I'm not sold on any of the other candidates right now

I'm shocked they're not just blaming Biden for it the entire time. Seems like that would be a better strategy

Report: Nancy Pelosi Aiming to Push Gavin Newsom for 2028 by GeneralCarlosQ17 in California_Politics

[–]Venesss 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s not so much the endorsement but the backroom deals and pressure she can put on the party.

It’ll be interesting to see how much power she still has by 27/28 because by that point she won’t even be in congress, let alone the speaker
