Strong partisanship ensures poor politicians staying in office.

WAKE UP!!!

remember if you're fighting each other then you're not fighting them!!!

[merange]

The last point Kim made in this segment speaks volumes. We do not live in a democracy we live in an oligarchy and as soon as we all realize that everything will start to make a lot more sense.

[QueenBird]

He can tell that to the people who were told they already voted when they went in to cast in person. Voting is useless anymore any its in our faces.

[bsnahlove]

Newsom maintained solid favorability. Even when the recall polls were tight. His favorability remained in the 60%. So this is democracy, Kim. You have to accept what the majority chooses.

[ricfax]

California deserves him. You can see he's full of confidence now. He's a quintessential elitist Democrat being groomed for higher office.

[nelsonfonseca]

My fellow citizens deserve what they get and can't complain about any issues anymore. Out of 40+ million residents, less than 8 million went out to vote. If I ever hear "it so expensive, homeless this, bad schools that" the rebuttal will be "did you vote?"

[americanpaisareturns]

And my fellow California’s will continue to complain about High Crime, Homelessness, High Gas Prices, etc. and wonder why it continues to go on.🤦🏻‍♂️

[robertmcphail]

I find it absolutely hilarious that they are still worried about a man who is no longer in office and has no official power. It seems they see the uprising, and are scared.

[TheAngryHusky]

Good luck Cali, you get the government you deserve.

[juliansherborne]

California gets what they
deserve - They can have Whitmer too if they want

[agustin]

A lot of the comments seem to be mad that a Dem +30 state didn't swing to the GOP and adopt their feeling about the recall. LOL stay mad y'all. Us Californians didn't want Elder. Period.

[Who]

The governor celebrated his win at the French Laundry dining on $300 quail eggs.

[scottfinnis]

At 2:12 Carl said Newsom didn't have any scandals. 🤡🤡

[sdsartor]

Those who would be willing to give up freedom for a little bit of comfort, deserve neither and shall lose both

[bbchester]

Let's not forget the PG&E scandal. Many died and he still protected the business side instead of the survivors who are still living in tents on their properties.

[michaelh]

LOL the right wing rage machine is in full force at the fact that a blue state is a blue state.

[matthewcarriuolo]

I wonder if Kim is considering going home to Idaho. . . . Many Californians already have opted to go to Idaho in recent years, and I suspect the rate of flow of them into Idaho (and Texas) is going to escalate rapidly after this election.

[phathomholt]

Yeah, so no one has actually answered the hole in the envelope issue…

[spzaruba]

Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large numbers.
