Just another "Conservatives FAFO"
You don't get to support marginalizing other groups in other states and then complain when your group gets marginalized in your state. They opened this particular Pandora's box and it's too late to close it.

it’s not the racism or pedophilia it is the 6 dollar gas
Unfortunately the vast majority of the US public is uninformed and ignorant, and do not care about a single thing beyond what happened yesterday and what will happen tomorrow. And what they remember yesterday was paying $6 for gas.
If that's what it takes to ruin the Nazi's public support, so be it.
A lot of the public doesn't have the excess capacity to operate beyond a day or so. As designed by the system.
They get up, commute to work maybe an hour, work 9 hours, including an unpaid lunch break, commute back an hour, spend maybe an hour or so with kids helping with homework before they need to go to bed. So that's 12 or 13 hours there, not including time for anything like cooking, grocery shopping, hygiene, etc. so let's add a couple hours on for that daily. So we're at 15 hours now. They try to get 8 hours for sleep.
So in the end we're at 1 extra hour for them to try and keep up to date on everything in the world. Easiest way to do that is nightly news, and then we have the biases that come from that.
The flip-side is that they're also willing to let Russia overrun Ukraine if it means avoiding $6 gas.
That's why I'm excited for the oil reserves to run out. We will look back at $6 gas and remember how good we used to have it.
not just any $6 gas, $6 costco gas.
Kind of a misleading headline; the county didn’t get to choose anyone. Marin county chose and they were a rounding error.
It’s a shame actually, because rural counties do have an important voice that will now get ignored in CA.
Of course, that voice voted for current republica when they could have voted independent, so they voted for this.

I'd like to point out that this is not inherent. A representative could and should still focus on hearing what they want, even if they're not a large voting bloc.
Reality is of course a different place, but some reps do go out of their way to ensure they hear from every area they represent, like they're supposed to. The fact so many do not at all is a critique on the type of people that generally run for office.
Republicans in particular have been cutting back as they didn't want to get yelled at by their constituents for harming them.
This is all countering Texas's bullshit. Every single republican voted for exactly this if they voted for Trump.
They wanted this, they just didn't realize their voices were the ones that would be drowned out.
What a bunch of fucking dumbasses.
Noice.
"when they talk about rural areas, they say how we’re a bunch of idiots and racists,” Ybarra said
no they're just talking about Modoc, Ybarra. We've been.
Yeah it's kinda accurate. Modoc county is losing population too
Misleading clickbait title but still interesting article. I blame the editor.
