CA Ballot Counting Continues

I find it odd that my politically attentive friends keep stating that Mahan and Porter "should have dropped out weeks ago," instead of the 50+ candidates who diverted 168,000+ votes; despite the fact Swalwell and Yee DID drop out, tens of thousands voters still cast ballots for them. 

Our system needs more civil and effective communication around our democratic process overall. We should not allow corporations to finance elections, or depend upon some so called "benevolent billionaires" to rescue our democracy.

Ranked choice voting would help ease the anxiety around elections, as would an equal playing field. 

Maybe it is our mindset about money in every aspect of life, not just politics, that needs adjusting. Is it a means to an end, or a beginning?

Hey Everybody! 

Mari here. Excited to be working on some new tunes. We are taking the band of kings into the studio to record. 

Please vote as your conscience tells you to do. I used CalMatters.org for guidance. You do you. 

Happy Pride to everyone who believes in personal freedom as long as you aren't hurting anyone else. And if you are hurt by someone else's choices, maybe consider concentrating more on the things and people you love. 

See you on the second Saturday afternoon. 

This Sunday, I may try to do a live. Not sure. But stay tuned. 

Ox, 

Mari
