San Jose Mercury News Carries Story Asking if California Will Change from a Top-Two System to Something Else

Posted on by March 6, 2026

On March 6, the San Jose Mercury-News carried this story, asking if California is likely to change its top-two system to something else.

The story erroneously says California had a closed primary before top-two started in 2011. This is not true. For 2002, 2004, 2006, and 2008, California had a semi-closed primary for congress and partisan state office. In all those elections, both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party let independent voters vote in its non-presidential primaries.

  2. Does any human reading this seriously believe that President Trump is more tyrannical than, for example, Cho Bai-Din, Killary Klingon, Barack Insane Osama, Cumala Drunkass, or any currently plausible 2028 POTUS candidates? Or for that matter the Bushes, Romney’s, Doles, McCain’s etc? If so, try to logically back up that opinion?

  3. The Red Guardian is of course fake news, but the more relevant fact here is that all these obviously ridiculous lies about Liberator Trump being a “tyrant” are why there have been so many assassination attempts against Him, including again just recently. Obviously, the nAZi-666 spambot has no sense of shame, but Richard Winger should know better than to continue enabling further assassination attempts against the President.

  4. The Supreme Leader of Iran was a tyrant. When people demonstrated against him, tens of thousands of them were killed and many more disappeared into secret prisons. Maduro was a tyrant who did similar things. President Trump is a Liberator, the opposite of a tyrant.

    All wars obviously have costs, but so does failure to take down terrorist regimes such as Iran and Venezuela that wage chemical, terror, cyber and other war against us and strive to develop nuclear weapons and delivery systems.

  5. Real Facts

    “AZ spambot,

    As always, if President Trump was a tyrant, you would be deprogrammed, your programmers would be in prison, and this website would be taken down.”

    Duh!

  6. Forever Trump, I want to have forever Trump
    Do you really want Trump as President forever?
    Forever, and ever
    Forever Trump, I want to have forever Trump

    Do you really want Trump forever?
    Forever Trump!
