Well, without question, the laws we are ostensively fighting in this thread are the work of democrats. I think we can all agree that by any metric neither of these laws furnish even a modicum of “public safety”. Any intelligent person can see that. The question is: why were these laws enacted? What is their purpose?Where is the strategy? I subscribe to Sun Tzu’s philosophy but I do not see any action or actual strategizing for real change. I see blame and complaining. You can see here we’re continuing to grow with the next stop at 50k members.
If your original post you talk about the KKK and Kamala and Dems, how does that relate to actual bill changes?
Strategy is long term, you have to have a plan to build your base and make fundamental changes. How does what you say change the status quo?
If we are fighting 1263 and 2571, it’s really important to understand who put them there and why they did it,
The Democratic Party has held a supermajority (two-thirds of seats) in both chambers of the California State Legislature for most of the period since the 2012 election, with a brief loss of that status in 2018.
- Initial Milestone (2012): Democrats first achieved a dual-chamber supermajority in November 2012. This was the first time they held such power in both houses simultaneously since 1883.
- Brief Loss and Regain (2018): They temporarily lost the supermajority in the State Senate in June 2018 following the recall of Senator Josh Newman. However, they regained it just a few months later in the November 2018 midterm elections.
- Current Standing (2025–2026): As of the most recent legislative sessions, Democrats maintain commanding supermajorities:
Historical context of Democratic Control
While the supermajority (2/3) is a relatively recent consistent feature, Democrats have held a simple majority (more than 50%) in both houses for decades. They have controlled the legislature almost continuously since 1959, with only two brief exceptions: a period of Republican control from 1969 to 1971 and a brief Republican majority in the Assembly from 1994 to 1996.
