@dlonorse @docrocktex26 @We_are_Vector @kanoe80 @BetoORourke @DNCWarRoom @DNC Correct since 2006 in terms of the PUBLIC FACE OF VOTING.
"Republicans have not won statewide office in California since Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 2006 reelection. Indeed, they have become such a minority in California that they now practically count as a third party.

@dlonorse @docrocktex26 @We_are_Vector @kanoe80 @BetoORourke @DNCWarRoom @DNC Only 24.1 percent of registered voters there declare themselves to be part of the GOP, which is barely half the number who count themselves as Democrats and roughly the same as the share who register as independents."

But Iived in CA for 25 years and I promise you

@dlonorse @docrocktex26 @We_are_Vector @kanoe80 @BetoORourke @DNCWarRoom @DNC racism is alive and well even with DEMS governing.

As for the GOP AS ALWAYS, they're a-coming for ya

Opinion | Republicans are upset about California’s redistricting. But it’s not as bad as they think.

@dlonorse @docrocktex26 @We_are_Vector @kanoe80 @BetoORourke @DNCWarRoom @DNC WP allies NEED TO TAKE NOTE OF THIS AND DO WHATS NECESSARY TO MAKE WS ILLEGAL. ITS ONLY WHEN TEACHING AND BEHAVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH WS IS AN ARRESTABLE OFFENSE THAT IT WILL STOP. At this point it's not illegal

@dlonorse @docrocktex26 @We_are_Vector @kanoe80 @BetoORourke @DNCWarRoom @DNC The work begins AFTER VOTING voting is only the first step NOT THE LAST. More it's always tenuous when WS is allowed to run rampant under the first amendment which is a crock served up by WP who wouldn't allow their kids to learn CRT

@dlonorse @docrocktex26 @We_are_Vector @kanoe80 @BetoORourke @DNCWarRoom @DNC If you want to keep going in t/right direction t/response can not be not me, not my town, or not my state. T/impact of racism IS LASTING & we are no where near a "sit down & relax you got this" condition because clean up is a long haul long distance run.
And White allies will
