The Progressive Era left a flaming dumpster fire of direct democracy levers that has has only increased government dysfunction in California rather than its intended goal of holding elected official more accountable.
What exactly will this recall prove? The justification for the recall on the website comes off as fatuous hearsay (and why is it also a JPEG?) without additional explanations.
I am extremely skeptical of the recall process providing any real value and think it has often been hijacked to serve dark influence interests preying on the frustrations of the public. The recall of Grey Davis was motivated and funded by Issa trying to get the governorship via a shortcut; I still remember him bawling at his press conference announcing he was stepping out of the race once Schwarzenegger announced his candidacy [1].

- ardit33 6y agoNice try Chesa... you just opened this account to defend that guy that indirectly has led to the killing for 3 people, and the rape of a immigrant woman. People that he let go, just went back and created those crimes. Also, his numbers of prosecution tells that he needs to go. Don't get elected if you can't are are not willing to do your job
