That's it Pedes,

I just sent the letter to my landlord informing them I'm moving out in 30 days.

I'm a business owner, in fact my husband and I run 3 business in the "Golden State" (an ironic name now a days) We pay thousands of dollars in LLC fees alone, our electric bill is over $1200 a month for our small factory, We pay nearly half our income in taxes and we and our tax dollars are leaving this shithole.

It's bitter sweet for me, I was born and raised in California by a based family who loved this state, I'm old enough to remember when it was a purple state and still affordable for most people. I grew up in a nice house, half way between the mountains and the ocean. We spent summers swimming every day and winters snowboarding or off roading. It was a pretty ideal life for a working class family. Over the past 15 years I've watched our state slide into the gutter.

Unlike most Californians with goldfish memory I know the exact moment when our state tipped the scales into an unrecoverable spiral to hell it was when Californians passed Prop 14 in 2010. LET THIS BE A WARNING TO ALL LIBERTARIANS, TEA PARTY, CONSTITUTIONALIST OR ANY OTHER 3RD PARTY GROUPS. They sold this proposition to us as a way to "get third party candidates a chance to be on the ballot" They said if we passed this prop that we'd have more choice, we'd be able to cast our primary vote for a 3rd party and not feel like we "wasted" our vote. THEY LIED. What ended up happening is we got LESS choice, in most Californian elections THERE ARE NO REPUBLICANS ON THE BALLOT AT ALL, there are only democrats, no green party, no libertarians, just DNC approved puppets... how is this possible? Well prop 14 changed our primaries so there is only one ballot for the primaries and the top 2 vote getters by quantity move through to the final election. Previous to prop 14 we had the old style primary ballots, one for democrats and one for republicans where the winner of each primary would pass through to the final election. Yes it prevented third parties from winning but the solution was worse than the problem. Essentially they changed it from a republic style voting system to pure mob rule democracy, the cities ALWAYS out vote the suburbs and rural areas. THIS IS A MICROCOSM OF GETTING RID OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. The worst part is no one remembers this prop, and a ton of people moved here after the prop passed and have no idea it even exists. They wonder why every politician is a democrat and don't have the sense enough to look into it.

Political amnesia, how could we ever hope to repeal such a "good sounding" prop... 'don't you want more choice in politics?' the left argues without looking at the results which only benefit DNC candidates.

So I hope other Cali pedes see this and realize the source of our problem, I hope pedes in other states see this and prevent it from happening in your state.

I'm ensuring I can vote Trump 2020 in my new state where my vote will actually count. Don't worry I'm sure as hell not bringing any Cali virus with me, fuck this states government. Besides my husband is from the state we're moving too so really he is just bringing home a new wifey he found while out on his late 20's viking raid.

Thank God, us based Lady Cali pedes need red state men to come rescue us, it's rough out here if you want a real man. I had to teach my college boyfriend how to light a pilot light for the love of pete!

IN 2016, in the Presidential Election.

The Libertarian Candidate took 35,000 votes in New Hampshire - maybe 3-4%.

Trump lost NH to Hillary by 5,000 votes....

Nevada was not dis-similar.

Libertarian took 37,000 votes.

Trump lost NV by 27,000 votes.

Libertarians are GETTING DEMOCRATS ELECTED!!!

Please stop!

absolutely true. The "Libertarian Party" is nothing but a device to siphon votes away from Republicans in close races. STOP VOTING FOR THEM. THEY DON'T WIN AND WON'T WIN and they are often times Deep State PLANTS (Evan McMullin)

In all fairness, the Republicans do not own your vote any more than the dems own the black vote.

The real problem as I see it is that the republican party is a giant festering pustule on America. They are not actually conservative, and they are also authoritarian. In other words, they are just about the perfect opposite of what they say they are there to do.

In 2008, I was delighted to see John McCain lose. In 2012, I was delighted to see Romney lose. This doesn't mean I liked Obama - I found him a disgusting disgrace on our political landscape. But the reason Obama won is that the republicans shut out Ron Paul and went with the shilliest shill they could find.

I miss Ron Paul. Even drove to DC for a Veterans for Paul march. Hated Republicans since Bush's wars and patriot act, and learned from the anti-war marches I went to that I didn't fit in with the degenarate left either. So libertarian it was. Trump is so different from Republicans of 12 years ago. He's as far from McCain and Romney as he is Pelosi. When I voted Libertarian in 08 and 12, I knew they were just protest votes. In 16, voting for Trump was refreshing, as I was finally voting FOR rather than AGAINST.

Of course they don't own my vote. But Libertarianism is weak sauce, especially now that Lefties have infiltrated it. No thanks. If a person votes for a Libertarian in the presidential election this year they're basically just handing that vote to SnifferBiden and CommieLa

I agree. In this election and in the 2016 election, this holds water. In previous years it did not.

Trump is the most libertarian candidate we’ve had in at least 60 years.
