confusion, but at least you're past the bogus "them" accusations.

California chose Hillary by several million votes, has 2 Democratic Senators, pnwmom May 2017 #1
Maybe they looked at how well the party's doing outside of progressive California Plucketeer May 2017 #11
CA is showing no signs of sliding in that direction, thanks to party leadership. pnwmom May 2017 #12
