Unequal opinion

Thanks for your letter, Mr. D’Anna, but there should be no surprise. In one of Mr. Simon’s columns last month, Mr. Simon showed us that for him, the Deem party takes precedence over anything else. (Not that long time readers hadn’t already figured that out years ago.) If anything, we should be surprised if Mr. Simon isn’t biased in favor of Deems. If that happens, you might want to look out a window and see if pigs are flying. Meanwhile, get used to more of the same from Mr. Simon since Mr. Hilton has made the final cut. Vote Hilton. We’ve seen how well former TV stars have done, including Reagan and Trump. And we’ve seen how former Dems have done – catastrophically.

Thank you, Doug for this perspective. While I’m not a fan of Steve Hilton’s, you make a valid point that news reporting should be fair and balanced. Maybe if it was, TerenceY wouldn’t be bashing Democrats all the time, and I might not be triggered by hearing Trump or MAGA. That could actually lead to a better world!

good points. Right wing politics flourish when centrist parties fail to deliver. There is only one centrist party now in California and the Bay Area.

And if they delivered, we would see:

- bike lanes for children and Safe-Routes-To-School everywhere.

- San Mateo schools wouldn't be segregated "by choice".

- Renewable energy produced in the county. There would be a microgrid.

- solid public transit and not one expensive highway-widening after another.

- less money going to car-centric developments that makes people lazy and addicted.

- lower health care costs ... again, those go right back to car-centric developments.

- quality-of-life.

none of that is happening. Democrats keep spending on free driving and free parking as if their political lives were depending on certain 'sponsorships'. And most likely they are.

Basically the people on the right go nutes, because CA Democrats aren't delivering and are all about 'self-pleasuring' these days.
