Bianco kneeled for corruption. Corrupted and greedy BLM. Wonder if he would kneel for the victims of Black communities.

But as a single issue voter, I'd have to vote for this greedy corrupted .

We need to see who's on the ballot, until then this is just drama.

The high speed rail is from a ballot initiative that happened in 2008, per state law it would have to be voted on again as another ballot initiative to be repealed. So Bianco being governor has almost nothing to do with whether or not the high speed rail project is abandoned. Looking at his page on transportation an infrastructure is pretty funny because it's even stupider than I thought. He says he will suspend the gas tax but then also invest in infrastructure and expand freeways. The gas tax is what pays for the infrastructure and freeways. Texas has a higher overall spending on their roads and significantly less people so they actually pay quite a bit more per capita for their roads. But, they only pay 50% of the cost. Guess who pays the other 40%? Comes from the feds, we literally pay for almost half of Texas's roads. In CA we are very close to being self sufficient for road spending and pay for something like 90% of our roads, with the gas tax! So Again, literally nothing in his platform makes sense and is designed to trick dummies like you by appealing to your hatred of things you don't understand.

Thank You, California | Sheriff Chad Bianco

Thank you for standing with Denise and me. While the campaign has ended, the grassroots movement continues as I serve Riverside County and fight for California's future.

Yea, I know, we have a lot of idiot voters in the state. HSR was NEVER about building a train, it was ALWAYS a giant money laundering scheme to transfer wealth from california taxpayers to political allies and family members. It’s doing EXACTLY what we said it would do 20 years ago. Just look at what it has accomplished, 0 miles of usable track and over $100B paid out to family members and political allies. CA HSR is doing EXACTLY what it was intended to do.

I think we have a lot of new gun owners in this forum who only got into guns after the events of Trumps second term (Palestine, ICE etc).

They want guns only in so far as it helps them resist Trump ( which sure it’s their right). But I’m not even sure they really give a about the second amendment

Palestine was Biden, President Trump brought that to an end. Resisting federal immigration enforcement is, by definition, and act of insurrection. You seem to have an awfully low opinion of new members here.

Doesn't really apply here. Governator is one office that serves the dominant democrat super majority legislature.

Even if a republican is elected nothing will change. The super majority can and will override any governor veto.

I'll say this about Biancos main platform: He wants to take away income tax and replace it with oil sales. CA consumes 1.8 million barrels of oil a day and has 1.7 billion barrels of proven oil reserves. So if we were completely "energy independent" our oil would last less than three years. China is leading the way in "green energy" but it's not because they care, it's because they don't have oil and it's cheaper and more accessible to have an electric economy instead. So a lot of the push for renewables here is also in the same vein, it's literally about supply and having a future vs environmentalism even though that's also a benefit.

In order to change tax policy in CA it requires a constitutional amendment with 66% of the legislature voting for it. But with the above in mind, why would anyone in the legislature vote for it when they know that the concept is untenable because there isn't enough oil to replace income tax? Only an idiot would vote for that.

In his recent interview on CNN he also says he wants to be tough on immigration. But then he acknowledges that we need the people here for labor so he starts out saying "we gotta deport everyone" but also then "but the real problem is that the federal immigration system is broken" to "well maybe amnesty is the right thing but we have to at least punish them". Aside from punishing people that's literally just an Obama policy and the biggest issue is really that the feds are in control of visas and citizenship, so what can a governor or even the state legislature do?

I hate the roster as much as anyone but I don't think this guy has a real platform. It's all just reactionary populism and no policy.

Like I said............

Bianco's platform is nonsensical, but also irrelevant. As governor he will have zero power to change gun law. He will have zero power to direct the DoJ to enforce laws differently (as the AG is elected, and not bound to follow orders from the governor). He can not change the tax system without the majority of the legislature (which he will not have), nor without a referendum (since much of the tax system is enshrined in the state constitution). And immigration policy is the realm of federal policy. The fact that he pretends to have these positions as his platform just demonstrate that he is a fraud.

Some of the same argument also applies to Steve Hilton, but he's less direct about making empty promises.

Lesser of the two evils....

Very sad that it always comes down to that.

At first I thought it was the the non paying non contributing non feedback trolls. But lately some of the mods let their true colors show.

Thats why you need to vote for a republican down the ballot so that we can actually get some things done here already.

I just can't understand this vote a certain party down the ballot. Such a stupid way of thinking IMO. I vote for whoever aligns with my views or who I think will do the best job, whether it be R or D. I actually hate hearing those two words because they make me tune the person out who is speaking because the same thing can be said without having to group everyone together in two dumb parties.

So you'll vote republican down the ballot?

Where does this come from? Didn't this start as a 2A candidate discussion? It always seems like anything talked about becomes a R VS. D, bash the other side conversation. $hit gets old!

Where have the democrat super majority gotten us on any 2A issues? Tax issues? Homelessness? Fraud? Energy policy? Wildfire relief?

I don't vote Democrat.

Bianco's last year's pay was 600k+. Fraud? He seems like the basis of it.

You quoted my previous post which was based on Bianco.

Not all new members. Not even most. Just trying to make sense of why so many people seem so instinctively negative about the two republican candidates so far. To the point of completely ignoring the original question.

 

[nakatomi]

Reading through the comments here I was not impressed with Bianco, quite the opposite actually:

Reddit

www.reddit.com

Reddit is a l-e-ft-ist manufactured rage echo chamber. Too many 4chan incels and Nextdoor Karens took over in recent years.

(Edit - funny when I write l e f t i s t it gets replaced with a banana emoji. What the heck)

Rightist.

The original question is flawed, regardless of which is more 2A friendly. It will require taking over the Democrat Super majority legislature in order to effect change. For the most part, there are many people here including a few mods who do not support that notion.

@ikeo1 Would you be against a site map where each member can select which district and county they reside in and the totals can be visible to all so we can see where we push the most weight on the scale?
We are 37000 strong, gotta count for something somewhere.

Not when so many of these guys keep voting for gun control candidates.
