The People's Republic: February 2018

.

THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CALIFORNIA - This site is dedicated to exposing the continuing Marxist Revolution in California and the all around massive stupidity of Socialists, Luddites, Communists, Fellow Travelers and of Liberalism in all of its ugly forms.

"It was a splendid population - for all the slow, sleepy, sluggish-brained sloths stayed at home - you never find that sort of people among pioneers - you cannot build pioneers out of that sort of material. It was that population that gave to California a name for getting up astounding enterprises and rushing them through with a magnificent dash and daring and a recklessness of cost or consequences, which she bears unto this day - and when she projects a new surprise the grave world smiles as usual and says, "Well, that is California all over."

Democrat Senator resigns under threat of expulsion

Assholes

California Has More Than Their Fair Share

(San Francisco Chronicle) - Under the threat of becoming the first lawmaker to be expelled from the state Senate in more than 100 years, Democrat Sen. Tony Mendoza resigned Thursday after a Senate investigation found that he had engaged in unwanted sexual advances toward subordinate female staffers over the past 12 years.

In a letter to his fellow senators, Mendoza said he stepped down because he refused to participate “in the farcical investigation” pushed by his former roommate Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León, D-Los Angeles. He accused de León, who’s challenging U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein in the November election, of seeking his removal to score political points with the #MeToo movement.

Mendoza, a Democrat from Artesia (Los Angeles County), is the third legislator to resign in three months following accusations of sexual harassment.

The former elementary school teacher had been on paid leave since Jan. 3 during a sexual harassment investigation that found he “more likely than not” engaged in unwanted sexual advances toward subordinate female staffers over the past 12 years. His resignation takes effect immediately.

“It’s my duty as president of this body to say that we owe every employee that basic guarantee that we as an institution will not tolerate harassment nor sweep it under the rug when it is discovered,” de León said from the Senate floor.

GOP Voter Registration in Collapse

GOP And California

Goes Down The Drain

Republican voter registration is in free fall. The party is not even running a candidate for U.S. Senate and its highest ranking candidate for Governor get a pitiful 8% in the polls.

(Los Angeles Times) - As the June 5 primary election approaches, Democrats still dominate California's voting rolls and the percentage of independent voters continues to rise, according to new figures provided by the secretary of state's office.

Just shy of a quarter of the state's voters now forgo any party label, registering as "no party preference," a slight increase from last year. If the trend continues, as expected, California's pool of independent voters could soon surpass the number of Republicans in the state.

Democrats account for 45% of California's registered voters, giving the party a 19 percentage point advantage over the GOP, the state registration figures show.

The Democratic Party's slice of the electorate in non-presidential election cycles has remained relatively stagnant for two decades, while the Republican Party's registration slipped by 10 percentage points.

The percentage of independents, meanwhile, has more than doubled since 1997.

Paul Mitchell, who runs the data firm Political Data Inc., said California could have more independent voters than Republicans by the November general election.

Voter registration trends for Democrats, while better, are not exactly rosy. Mitchell said more and more millennials, college students, young Latinos and Asian Americans are registering as independents.

"Democrats are celebrating Republicans losing registration. But they should be mourning," Mitchell said. "This new registrant population looks like Democrats but they are registering as independents."

Democrats continue to hold a firm grasp on most of Southern California, though the region has a fair number of Republican pockets.

Democrats dominate the electorate in Los Angeles County — home to 1 out of 5 voters in the state — and hold majorities in Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Imperial and Ventura counties.

Republicans hold only Orange County, home to four Republican-held congressional districts won by Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. Democrats hope to wrest most of them from GOP control, a pivotal piece of the party's strategy to win back control of the House in November.

Republicans have a 3-percentage-point advantage over the Democrats in Orange County. Ten years ago, the GOP had a 10-percentage-point advantage.

Here's how they break down by party:

Democratic Party: 44.63%

Republican Party: 25.44%

No Party Preference: 24.95%

American Independent Party: 2.66%

Libertarian Party: 0.74%

Green Party: 0.48%

Peace and Freedom Party: 0.40%
