Reply #64: Sigh. That WOULD be a logical conclusion

after reading a fucked up thread like this, wouldn't it? I don't think I've ever seen so much ignorance parading itself as political strategy in my life.

People, people.

1. Try to defeat the recall.
Davis may not even deserve it in your eyes but DEMOCRACY does, by God, and it's imperative to do what we can to defeat fascist thugs who want to make an end-run around democracy, as they're trying to do in TX, CO, and by doing things like re-nominating previously defeated judicial candidates (brute force "won't take no for an answer" tactic).

2. JUST IN CASE defeating the recall doesn't work, Californians have GOT to have someone who can defeat Arnold. The best candidate, no matter what anyone thinks of him, is Bustamonte. He's already Lt. Gov. He's got experience at governing. He's got good support from Latinos. He's the best choice unless everyone wants to line up for Arianna. (And thank Goddess she chose to run as an Independent so she doesn't split the Dem vote too much.)


3. It's my understanding that a Davis resignation would NOT stop the recall vote. So it would be just a terribly dangerous capitulation to this fascist takeover attempt. I'm not even sure what happens to Bustamonte in that case (Davis resigning). Does anyone? He probably stays on the ballot, but can also be replaced if the recall wins and he doesn't win on the 2nd half -- just speculation on my part.

Look, here's my rundown on the danger of what's happening in CA:

WAKE UP AND KISS DEMOCRACY -- and 2004 -- GOODBYE
