LOL -- California has a open primary so most of the time the Republicans squeezed out and two Democrats in the running. Anyway Maxine's seat was long ago promised to her daughter, Karen.

Are we complaining because those with the most votes are the opponents on the ballots.

California is a strange place indeed. Elsewhere, the effort is for someone else to win, someone not supported by the votes.

I'm not complaining but can you imagine a federal open primary for President of the U.S.? And on November 5th not Trump vs Biden but Sanders vs Biden or Warren vs Biden?

It wasn't the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi.

And I'm sure it wasn't the Zoltar machine from the Tom Hanks movie Big, either...




So who was it?

Trump would have gotten more votes than any of the Democrats. I suspect that in this scenario, it would have been Trump-Sanders.

This is how they're going to do it -- rather than accomplish it through the voting process, they're going to impeach their enemies one by one until they seize control.

Worked pretty good for the Democrats, but since the Republicans don't have big tech or the media censoring and propagandizing for their side I doubt it would be successful for them.

You need to do some research. Since the jungle primary was implemented 9 years ago, only one of the five races in Rep. Waters' district had her go against a Democrat. The other four races were against Republicans in which she curb stomped the opponent. The jungle primary had nothing to do with it.

Did it? I don't recall any Republicans being removed from office...

Except, of course, through the ballot box... which, last I checked, is the way it's supposed to be done.

but since the Republicans don't have big tech or the media censoring and propagandizing for their side I doubt it would be successful for them.

Maybe if they lightened up on the finger-pointing and conspiracy theories?

Or is that even more troublesome than putting up a decent candidate?

There's no doubt that Maxine Waters is lousy person...much like anyone who associates themselves with Farrakhan...and if Chauvin's lawyer gets an appeal going and for some reason, makes it work, she's partially to blame for it:

The judge in Chauvin's trial said that Walters' comments were "abhorrent" and that it was "disrespectful to the rule of law and to the judicial branch" for elected officials to comment in advance of the verdict. The judge refused the defense's request for a mistrial, saying that the jury "have been told not to watch the news. I trust they are following those instructions," but also said that "Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned".[77][78]

...that being said, using controversial rhetoric isn't grounds for expulsion, and removing her wouldn't do anything to change the power dynamic in the House. It's not as if the Cali 43rd district seat would be filled by a republican if she got ousted.

What I would like to see, is a consistent standard from both sides with regards to what constitutes incitement.

Meaning, for the Trump supporters out there who don't think he was guilty of incitement, you can't bash Waters for incitement...and for the Waters supporters out there, you can't bash Trump incitement.

Because their Republican opponents are crappier?

No, seriously... why can't they defeat her?
Career politicians on both sides have figured out how to win elections. They’re good at getting elected and then crappy at actually doing their job. It’s just that simple.

Well for starts there was insufficient evidence that any of those allogations were true, moving on from there, Waters was all to happy to impeach Trump for saying things far less inciting than what she has said on more than one occasion now. I see the all too familiar double standard.

When did Maxine Waters urge people to storm the Capitol because “you’re not going to have a country anymore”?

Does it has to be word for word before the similarity or contrast can be seen. Waters called for violence, Trump did not.

And remember, Donald riled up an audience that he knew in advance were plotting something violent.

He didn't calm them down; he steered them straight towards his foes.

Also, this is a small thing, but man civics education in this country is lacking. Maxine Waters literally cannot be impeached. She can be expelled from the House, but that has only ever happened in the modern period for somebody who was convicted of a crime and refused to resign.
