Editor,

I voted yes on Proposition 50 to do one action that, if enough of us also vote yes, may help enough Democrats in the next Congress — despite Trump’s pressure on Republican governors to politically gerrymander their states’ districts — that we may have an honest Congress true to their oath of office, working for the American people.

Well Susan, thanks for nothing. Your focus on Trump is severely misplaced. By voting for Prop 50 you are essentially deleting the representation for many of your neighbors in DC. 40% of California's voters voted for the Republicans in the last election and yet only 8 congressmen and women out of 42 have an R behind their names. Do you really believe that is equitable representation? Don't be blinded by the incessant Democratic blather as David ironically accuses the other side of. We have enough group thinkers around us already; don't be one of them.

Ah yes, another writer, Ms. Brown, attempting to irrationally rationalize Newsom’s threat to democracy known as Proposition 50. Based on your second paragraph, we know why you’re voting yes. We can see Democrat sheep do nothing but show loyalty to corrupt wannabe (and giant TDS sufferer) dictator Newsom, encourage partisan division and waste taxpayer money. Since Newsom started the redistricting war, other states are joining and are redistricting early when they don’t need to. Just today, AP reports that Indiana is joining the fight. We can thank Newsom for Indiana’s special session.

Ah yes, another “Terrence “Y diatribe filled with his/her usual misinformation and insults. Ms. Brown, if you actually see this, just ignore the online blather here.

Ah yes, DavidKristofferrson with yet another personal attack because he cannot defend his positions. (Now I know how Trump feels to live rent-free in someone’s head.) I remind our dear readers that this is the DavidKristofferrson who can’t explain why Democrats support criminals and terrorists over the American people, why Democrats are using violent rhetoric against those on the right, and why Democrats celebrate political assassinations. Or, does DavidKristofferrson give them get-out-of-jail free passes? Similar to the passes he gives to climate conference attendees who take 400+ private jets to climate conferences, burning as much carbon as they desire. When people show us who they are, believe them. DavidK has shown us who he is, over and over again, with no regard for the facts. Ms. Brown, please ignore the online blather from DavidK for the reasons listed.
