Indeed, CA had lost the ability to govern, even in the most basic aspects, including manufacturing its own political legitimacy.
When you have such a built-in advantage, voting is not about the result, but about making the public believe in your mandate to rule. This should be easy to accomplish with the resources they have; dictatorships can do that with Assad-style elections.
Even if you did cheat (which California Democrats actually don’t need to), you could still count the votes faster…
@Peter_Nimitz They are also quite successful selling to the world their “democratic reputation” despite the whole thing is just intra-clan elite power rotation
@chernovlosya it was already solved 2500 years ago, long before both Islam and Christianity
Simple, 2 gods, equally powerful and omnipotent
1 good
1 evil
That’s it
There has to be a natural 50/50 balance
Abrahamic religions still haven’t figured it out because they stick to 1 god

The Chinese military is, ironically, the most "German" armed forces in East Asia due to heavy German army influence on early 20th century China. A legacy of this is the emphasis on 'fighting spirit' in both the WWII era NRA and today's PLA and extremely decentralised tactical leadership.
A key feature of American politics for the foreseeable future is Republicans brainwashing their supporters into thinking their election win rate is 100% and they only lose due to fraud. I think there are different, overlapping reasons for this. For TPUSA grifters it’s about keeping boomer donor money flowing at all costs because the right has lost young people and nobody else is giving them money. For others it is genuinely the result of ideological worms that have their brains in a chokehold. But all that is less important than the fact that the right is destabilizing force and there’s really no solution other than delivering one crushing defeat after another until the current GOP is swept into the dustbin.
