Hi, Voters!

Please take a moment and vote in our Ventura County-wide mock Governor's election using RCV!

A traditional election requires you to choose a single candidate and hope for the best. In a crowded field, as in this year's election, voters have to choose between voting for candidates they believe in and voting for those they think are likely to survive the primary and advance to the general. Vote splitting is on everyone's mind, and voters, Democrat and Republican alike, are struggling to choose which candidate to support in hopes that their choice makes the final two.

And, of course, Independent and Third-Party candidates are entirely left out of the process and labeled as a "throw-away" vote. (Sorry, largest block of voters who are registered as Independents. No soup for you!)

With Ranked Choice Voting, we could eliminate primaries and two-round runoff formats altogether and have a single, high-turnout November election with many candidates from across the political spectrum. Voters could vote for their preference, and constituents would get consensus winners.

No more strategic voting, no more vote splitting, no more lesser of two evils.

All candidates in this election are still in the race and were polling at or above 1% support in recent polls.

Have fun! Results will be released after the polls close on June 2nd!

If you haven’t heard, the tennis courts at Camino Real Park have been closed indefinitely after inspection due to poor conditions. (City of Ventura)
These courts have been a huge part of the local tennis community for years — lessons, leagues, pickup matches, everything. Losing them is a big hit.
A friend put together a quick page to push for action from the City Council. It takes literally 30 seconds to support:

The city is already discussing park improvements and court replacements, so now is actually the time to speak up. (City of Ventura)
If enough people make noise, this doesn’t get pushed to the bottom of the list.
Let’s get these courts fixed and back open 🙌🎾

Maybe this isn’t the best place to vent. I’m just tired of people who think we all want to hear your loud obnoxious fireworks. I live off west Gonzales and it’s all I can afford at the moment. I wish I could move cause people just aren’t considerate of their neighbor’s. It’s Sunday night at midnight and those are extremely loud. This isn’t Fourth of July and even if it was it’s not acceptable to light up fireworks like that. I’d prefer not to have an artillery shell like firework over my head. I hope if this person is on the sub to see this and start being considerate of others. Then again they probably won’t. I’ve lived in Ventura county 98 percent of my life and I’ve never lived near such inconsiderate people who have zero class. I mind my own business but if you’re doing stuff to affect my everyday life and peace then I’m gonna vent about it. I’ve been dealing with this for the last two months as well.

Resolved. Found her and the item

Anyone here was sound liked an explosion as 5AM in the vicinity of oxnard blvd/vineyard - not a sonic book - sounded very street level like something exploded

To the MAGA dude in the big black truck repeatedly driving by the May Day event at the County Government Center gunning his engine and blowing black smoke at the people. I'm not going to talk about the tiny size of your penis, or the un-Christian behavior, or just how pathetic you are. I just want you to know that you were not only blowing black smoke into the faces of elderly people, you were also blowing smoke into the faces of small children and babies in strollers who were also at the event. This was a peaceful event that included families with children and babies. That's who you are though. A pathetic loser. I'm sure you or your MAGA friends will laugh and call me a libtard. But that will only further show what pathetic trash you are. A pathetic man blowing black smoke into the faces of small children, babies and the elderly.

Looking to purchase a whole pig, ~30-50 lbs, to roast at home. Does anyone have a recommendation as to where I can get my hands on one?
