  This is not a answer that addresses the question Eric posed...
But is a good deflection remark...

  Yes "I" would if he was elected to do so by any and all
stakeholders/users...

 Exactly right here at least...  However this seems to be a departure
from your earlier remarks/comments regarding Eric's fictitious
political leanings towards socialism....

did incorrectly assume he was more in line with a political system
he obviously in not, and you did somewhat belittle California as a
state, and incorrectly state a clear lack of comprehension of
voting rights vs qualifications...
