PPl supporting the green environmental party in my country actually running around in the evening looking for vegetables and fruit in dumpsters in the capital. Just saw these 4 young ppl looking totally normal on tv running around with great enthusiasm and a flashlight robbing these disgusting dumpsters and eating what they find. They are not poor or anything like that.
They call it dumpster diving.
They call it dumpster diving.

An article about the California Republican Party's descent into irrelevance, as they just this week forced out their former state house leader over his support for a cap and trade bill
Fun fact: California has been governed by a Republican for 23 of the last 36 years (recently from 2003-2010) and one of its Senate seats was held by two different Republicans (technically 3 but one became governor so a third finished his term w/o an election) from 1977 to 1992. But boy, are they dying fast:
And LOL the Republican base is just the nut low of humanity:
Quote:
The Republican former governor went on to praise Mayes, of Yucca Valley, for negotiating a bipartisan deal to extend California’s cap-and-trade program—an environmental policy Schwarzenegger helped create to curb global warming by forcing companies to pay for emitting greenhouse gases—and called it “a fantastic way to move forward.”
“If the Republican Party will go in that direction then we will have an increase in the membership of the Republican Party,” Schwarzenegger said. “Because this is what the people want us to do.”
The comment illuminated a vast schism among California Republicans, who are divided over how to bring their shrinking party back to relevancy. The very reason Schwarzenegger called Mayes the “future of the Republican party”—his work on climate change—was what ultimately cost him his leadership post. Most of his fellow Republicans voted against the cap and trade bill, even though it was backed by traditional GOP interests including oil companies and the Chamber of Commerce. Republican activists saw Mayes’ support for a program that adds costs for businesses and their consumers as a betrayal of GOP values. They turned up the pressure until he was forced last week to resign. [Schwarzenegger, by contrast, saw a modern Republican taking pragmatic steps to broaden the party’s appeal in a state where voters overwhelmingly support policy to address global warming.

Mayes’ ouster shows how hard it is for California Republicans to embrace a more moderate stance. A decade ago Schwarzenegger famously said California Republicans were “dying at the box office” because hard-right politics appealed to so few people in an increasingly diverse state. Since then, the GOP has slipped even further. ...a Republican hasn’t won a statewide contest in California since Schwarzenegger’s reelection in 2006.
