California Democrats have a problem with their leading candidates. One doesn’t live in the state but allegedly lived, in the euphemistic sense, with a Chinese spy. Another has the looks and personality of a distempered boar and can’t stop screaming at staffers, reporters and anyone late with her lunch. A third is a billionaire who convenes events at luxury hotels to explain how he’ll fight against the billionaires for the working class he sometimes reads about in the paper.
And those are their most popular candidates.
But since this is California, the real problem is that all of those candidates are all the wrong color. Their skin lacks melanin. Two of them can’t even tan. Their distant ancestors probably came here on the Mayflower or some other European sailing vessel. Basically they’re white.
Much too white.
There are other more ‘diverse’ candidates like a Latino former Los Angeles mayor, a Chinese State Controller, a Black Jewish school superintendent, and Biden’s former Latino Secretary of Health and Human Services (he’s still Latino, but a former secretary), but the public isn’t interested in voting for them or giving them money and so they’re not viable candidates.
What are the Democrats to do when their voters just aren’t interested in diversity?
The crisis of the #TooWhite Democrat ticket came to a head when USC was forced to cancel the first gubernatorial debate because all of the candidates were white and mostly male. If the Oscars, the Golden Globes and hockey had to be revamped because there were too many white people, shouldn’t the candidates for the governorship of a diverse state be diverse?
The problem is that the voters don’t agree which means that democracy is racist.
Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, who insists he is not white, Senate President Monique Limon, who has also achieved the great distinction of not being white despite probably not being able to tan, along with the leaders of the Latino, Black, Asian, LGBTQ and numerous other caucuses, all signed a letter claiming that there was “growing alarm from California voters” because “every excluded leading candidate… is a person of color” and warned that if “USC does not do the right thing, we call on California voters to boycott this debate.” And then probably the election.
The candidates that the diverse leaders of the state claimed were excluded are polling respectively at 3%, 3%, 1% and 1%. The selection process of the gubernatorial debate that they claimed was biased is indeed biased. It’s biased against politicians polling between 1% and 3%.
Together all the diverse candidates add up to 8%. California voters aren’t ‘alarmed’, they’re not interested in the ‘diverse’ candidates who talk a lot about their diverse backgrounds as the children of immigrants who pulled themselves up by their bootstraps to becoming millionaire state officials. (One of the septuagenarian diverse candidates recently got to keep his $3.5 million mansion in the divorce, another diverse candidate has a net worth of over $7 million.)
Only the Latino candidates even crack 3%. The Black and Chinese candidates are at 1%.
Whose fault is this? If voters don’t like diverse candidates, what can be done to cure them? Gunpoint Drag Queen Story Hour? Electroshock therapy accompanied by Candace Owens podcasts? Mandatory tickets to WNBA games held in North Korean labor camps? Netflix?
Golden State Democrats have weeks in which to either convince voters that they need to be more diverse in their political choices or just do what the Oscars did and import a bunch of outsiders and make them voters in order to rebalance the system to manufacture diversity.
The problem with Plan B is that’s been the official policy of California Democrats for the last 35 years. Its elected officials have wrecked the state, bankrupted it, threatened law enforcement with several penalties and fought a near civil war against the federal government in order to keep the border open and fill every part of it with illegal aliens. Especially illegal alien criminals.
California Democrats also dismantled any kind of voter security measures and made it possible for a Venezuelan here for three weeks to still vote. And, despite all that, the party is too white.
What else is a party that already bitterly clings to demographic replacement supposed to do?
Opponents of the USC debate keep speaking in the name of “democracy” and “voters” when those are their leading obstacles. The only way to save California’s diversity is to get rid of the voters and democracy in the name of democracy and the voters because that’s what they would want if they weren’t such miserable racists. Sometimes you have to kill democracy to save it.
Democrats have flirted with various ways of sidelining democracy, like enabling voter fraud, inviting in illegal aliens to create ‘ghost districts’, ranked choice voting which gave us Zohran Mamdani, and late ballot dumps which gave us Karen Bass in Los Angeles and Katie Wilson in Seattle, but the current California candidate diversity crisis can’t be fixed with half-measures.
There are other options on the horizon, like proportional representation, which would finally ensure that the Communist Party would have some official legislative seats, but 1% only gets you so much. The truly anti-racist position may be to recognize that democracy is racist.
If democracy leads to minority candidates polling at only 1% while white men take the rest of the voters, it becomes all too obvious that letting the people elect their leaders is systemically racist.
Sure, 32% of California’s registered voters are Latino, 16% are Asian and 5% are black, making for a majority minority electorate that helped Democrats turn the state into a one-party system, but they must be suffering from internalized unconscious bias if they won’t vote for diversity.
When states are accused of systemic racism and disparate impact, they’re forced to sign consent decrees admitting to their racism and promising to implement specific policies to rig the system in favor of minorities. Each California voter must be forced to sign a similar consent decree acknowledging that he, she or xer was biased for not supporting minority candidates and promising to vote for them instead of whichever white person they were originally supporting.
Or California could just abolish elections. It’s the only truly anti-racist thing the state can do.
I wouldn’t object very strongly if today’s California seceded, or even was urged and encouraged to secede, from the Union and become a sovereign foreign country…
…except that, then, they’d invite the Chinese Communist Party’s warships to home-port at Long Beach and San Diego, the absurdly misnamed “People’s Liberation Army” to take over and use the USMC’s longtime base at “Dago” (as Marines have always called their base in San Diego), and, therefore, we’d have our deadliest, most powerful enemies not just “90 miles from our shores,” like Castro’s Cuba, but literally ON our (former) shore.
Just as bad would be that a foreign, “sovereign” [now officially foreign] California would demand–and no doubt receive–trillions of dollars in “foreign aid” from the rest of us.
NOTHING good (for us) about the Idea!
I wouldn’t cede to those commie scum one square inch of American territory.
“…… Chinese Communist Party’s warships to home-port at Long Beach and San Diego,”
Whoa whoa whoa there pal!! I live in San Diego in a neighborhood full of retired Navy and Marine military officers. What you suggest is NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!!
And lest not forget, California also has a state militia. Not a single liberal amongst them. I know..
I don’t understans that next to last paragraph. Is that parody or what goes on in California?
It is a glimpse into the lunacy of the liberal mind.
USC should set a fine example to all academic institutions of so-called higher education and cancel itself. Any students and professors who actually want to continue real studies, humdrum stuff like classical literature and quantum physics, can just rebuild from the rubble, with no hype, but just hard work and achievement. They will be doing a better job within a semester or two than the current system. Who knows, by the time they’re through they may even be able to read whole books on their own and string a written sentence or two together without AI helping them. The downside..the…well, if and when I think of one, maybe I’ll add another post.
No objective standard, here, the amount of support needed to get on the debate stage, can withstand the charge of “racism. Of course, that is because otherwise sane people crater under the charge EVERY SINGLE TIME. Just say ” No.”
Like the east German playwright Berthold Brecht said, we need to “elect a new people.” Gulp.
Race, sex, being gender fluid, non binary, or whatever (who can keep up) is not a talent or qualification for any job or political office. This is obvious.
It is racist to believe a minority candidate cannot represent a mostly white constituency. It is equally racist to believe a white candidate cannot represent a mostly minority constituency.
It is insulting to black voters to think that they all think and vote alike and will only vote for a black candidate. because they are black..
In America, people and political candidates should be judged based on who they are, not what they are.
Or, as Martin Luther King Jr. said, “by the content of their character.”
I guess the most obvious reason for the diversity sector in California polling so poorly might just have something to do with actual issues being faced by the voters; who knew the people might just want something other than the riff-raff grifters in charge. News from California resides in the leftist looney bin as they repeatedly attempt to divert the voters from focusing on the fraud, governor’s grift and the ACTUAL problems Californians face. They are being nationally outed by true investigative reporters who look at the facts and who are unimpressed by the multiple, word salads being served up as incoherent mumbling reminiscent of “heels-up” Harris.
Land management and fire prevention in a semi-arid state well known for years of drought, so leave the underbrush as kindling to facilitate rapid fire expansion especially during extremely hot, dry Santa Ana winds occurring yearly. Watch as beautiful, Pacific Palisades is burned to the ground by incompetent, diversity-hired idiots and rebuilding permits have yet to be issued., Then in stratospherically moronic acts close some of the existing water-capturing reservoirs while legislating a moratorium on building any new ones while also limiting water usage and raising the cost for that daily-needed vital necessity. Further add absurd legislative directives affecting the current electrical grid already groaning under the current demands while adding on their absurd climate transformation edicts. This the result of shutting down nuclear power plants in the state providing both clean and economical energy and preventing the building of any new ones to meet the state’s growing electrical needs.
Then, when the state’s malfeasance gobbles up a multi-billion dollar surplus into the red, they further engage in legislated thievery of income by increased taxes on mansions and the rich living in the state. Wow! These morons are actually surprised that huge companies, along with many of their CA employees are leaving post haste with the very, very wealthy in Silicon Valley and Marin County moving into elegant mansions out of state!. They are already collapsing small businesses with wage increases crippling their already-narrow profit margins resulting in additional unemployment of entry-level workers. These arrogant idiots actually wonder why melanin is the least important identifier to those who are furious at the state’s preposterous governance?
Why capitalize black but not white?
The whole idea of someone getting labeled as of some particular race is bogus to begin with. Whenever you fill out some official form and it asks you what race you are, whatever you fill in is considered your race. There’s no technical or official way to dispute it. (My daughter learned this when she was filling out applications for college.) My dad always insisted he was part Mexican, though he looked white, top to bottom, and had no family members he could trace back to Mexico.
And by the way, if you dare dispute this, your’re racist!
Everyone likes to bat around the concept of race and racism, yet I’ve yet to see someone present a definitive description. What makes you black? What makes you white? Or any race under the sun? Is it skin color? Country of origin? Family tree? Or maybe it’s an arbitrary label used for political purposes. Honest question.
