[quote=no_such_reality][quote=flu-redux][quote=no_such_reality]So flu, everything you say you’re for is the libertarians. Why are you voting for Clinton instead of Johnson? Purely because you’re afraid Trump might beat her in California? Cause frankly, if so many defect from Clinton she losses California, I think it won’t matter.[/quote]
Johnson has no shot at winning because he is so off from.the other two
…If Trump wasn’t so close to Hillary or Johnson was close enough, I would.
I am being pragmatic.[/quote]
Clinton has close to a 20 point lead in California.
Johnson won’t win, but Johnson getting 15% sends a message. Clinton not getting 50% sends a message.
Voting for Clinton is saying the two parties giving this choice is okay.
But I get it, the risk of Trump is too great of a threat to your family. Devil you know. Eight more years of the last eight years we’ll okay.
I don’t actually believe that. The last eight years were just a continuation of the prior 40 years. 40 years that saw the greatest wealth concentration since the Gilded Age.
This election is no longer about who is President this round, it’s really about what kind of candidates we see next time.
Trump needs to lose, badly, Clinton and the DNC needs to shit their pants that they nearly loss.
A repeat of 2000 would be good. An Electoral deadlock even better. Johnson taking any state and f***ing it all up the best (not going to happen)
IMHO, the DNC needs to get to Nov 9th and realize their rigging the primary against Bernie might cost them.
IMHO, Bernie versus Trump wouldn’t even be close.[/quote]
What really has been that terrible for the past 8 years wrto the economy in CA?
Me personally. I thought it was a pretty good 8 years. I am looking at my 2015 taxes I just finished last night (lol) and my effective tax rate is now 21.5% federal. 8 years ago, it was about 17.6%…But, 1. my AGI is about 33% more than it was 8 years ago, 2. I am in a higher tax bracket and 3. I lost part of my mortgage interest deduction last year when most of the loan balances left wereaonly principal payments.
So on hindsight, it wasn’t bad, at least not in CA and at least not for me, and certainly my standard of living didn’t go down.
On thing I did learn. Since Trump is TaxSmart… I am definitely Tax Dumb for paying it.
