goldenecho Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) Hey all. I don't want to debate covid positions here, but just wanted to share a resource I compiled related to California Recall election governor candidate's positions on anything related to Covid, vaccination, masking, lock-downs, etc. There's a few people I'm missing because I couldn't find their positions on that, but most of the candidates are there. (UPDATED: I know this isn't the only issue people will be voting on, but I did think it was useful to look at this one issue in comparison. This was originally something I made for some groups related to covid specifically, so other political issues weren't allowed, and I don't have time to do this for every issue, for every candidate, anyways. )https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gUsiqSjjOYC90SlK6umQo7i6tdrOZm_qwTE4J89otjE/edit?usp=sharing Edited September 6, 2021 by goldenecho adding clarification 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ailaena Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 No clue why I even read that, but now I’m sad. Not just from what it said but from thinking about how many people ARE one-issue voters and how politics is infuriating. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not deciding on one issue, but this one is pretty important. Once I weed it down to people who can responsibly deal with covid (and I do think there's more than one way to responsibly deal with covid), I'm looking at other issues. This was originally compiled for some groups related to covid response in our state so I focused on this one issue because other political issues weren't something I could share about there. Since I'd already done that work I thought I'd share it some other places too. Edited September 6, 2021 by goldenecho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not from CA, but it can be really hard to find out people’s stance on specific issues sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyacinth Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Isn’t this considered a political (aka not allowed here) conversation? Or did COVID relax that rule? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corraleno Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) Eh, I think there are tons of posts on the Chat Board every day about various governors and their approaches to covid, pro and con, discussions about the current and previous administrations' approaches and actions regarding covid, etc. And there's currently a long thread on a particular state law that just went into effect in Texas. At any given time a large percentage of the topics on the first page here will be about covid in some capacity, so having a thread about where certain candidates stand on the issue doesn't especially bother me. And I have to admit that I really got a kick out of seeing Angelyne's name at the top of the list of candidates. I haven't lived in LA since the mid-90s, but I'm glad to see she is still alive and well and as desperate for attention as ever, lol. ETA: (To be clear, I think the candidates in that list are all idiots (except Angelyne!) and I think it's pathetic that the recall is wasting millions of taxpayer dollars over the fact that selfish people won't wear a piece of cloth. But the thread itself doesn't bother me.) Edited September 6, 2021 by Corraleno 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can be good guests and honor her request. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Ja, this isn't even trying to pretend it belongs on the main boards. You probably all know where the social groups are to be found by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
