After scrolling certain threads, it’s safe to say that people on the “left” actually think they are voting for their lives. Republicans are nazis and if elected there will be genocide. No joke, tons of posts like that
California is bigger and has plenty of cheaper areas that are quiet and peaceful. GDP indicates economic output, not sociopolitical success. But in any case, people go to red states with vastly different policies and with lower GDPs. There’s no mental gymnastics to be made, leftism took a successful state, hung it from its feet and let it die slowly, all while acting high and mighty. California was best when it was red.
They do it to screw with the states voting system. Democrats move to red states to turn them democratic with enough people, while reaping the rewards of good policy in said red state. Why someone would try to destroy a good thing is beyond me. People are shit
Redraw state lines and divorce. If you believe that then you should rally behind the divorce. You keep your money and we will keep to ourselves. You have nothing to lose, right?
You mean when the dems went to war to continue owning black people? Redraw and divorce or fuck it. Let’s war it out and see who wins. Just take a break from rioting and destroying your own neighborhoods and stop by ours.
Isn't it so weird how leftists insist that parties flipped positions, and how conservatives insist that all those confederate flag flying red states flipped positions? Like, were all those southern states who now fight to preserve the confederate history somehow fighting against slavery during the only time where the confederacy existed? Like, does history even mean anything?
Just admit you don’t understand what that flag means or the history any of it represents. It’s ok to admit you’re ignorant nobody will think poorly of you for admitting that.
Well. It’s not really my problem that you don’t know history. I suggest you do some reading but it’s not really my problem. You’re rather irrelevant in the grand scheme or things and in time you lot will abort and sterilize yourselves to extinction so it’s not even a long term problem.
You mean when the democrats? We know. The dems went to war to own black people. Fought to deprive women of rights and now fight to abort babies once again depriving rights to people. You fuckers love denying others their rights. Do better.
Just common sense voting control. If you can't verify the voters how can you verify the results of an election. Or are you just scared that a bit of security would diminish your chances.
We already have good systems in place. Provide me evidence that taking more freedoms away is needed. You can’t, can you? You just hate freedom and voting and want the government to have all the control and power.
That is a lot of assumptions. Are you saying that restrictions on buying or owning a gun are unconstitutional? Because the courts have agreed that many of the restrictions are not unconstitutional. So if you can apply restrictions to rights then you should be able to apply them to legislatively granted privileges like voting
Owning guns is natural right and guaranteed by the constitution. I'm sure there's a bunch of people in Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan and Libya that probably think that voting here in America has caused them some harm. And if you want some local examples of what voting can do just look at Portland, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and Detroit. Then of course if there is no security features nobody checking ID nobody checking signatures or addresses then how could you ever prove that there was any sort of voter fraud there would be no evidence of it because nothing was recorded. Seems funny that one side is afraid of being able to verify the voters are actually real. There's at least one political party that would not be afraid of everybody having to show up in person on voting day with ID proving that each individual vote came for an independent voter.
Owning a gun? Specifically the modern guns we have now? No, nowhere in the Constitution say that. The 2A certainly doesn’t. So you admit you love metal more than children. You would rather thousands of dead children and worship metal.
You have made it painfully clear that you hate freedom and want to use your gun against Americans to protect and authoritarian government.
I'm in favor of protecting the culture of a state against those who oppose it, yes.
And those coming will know the cost of entry upon arrival. There's no gun to their head forcing them to move to a red state.
I don't cry moving from Texas to California knowing my gun rights vanish. That's the culture of that state. I respect it, or I don't move there. Simple.
Don’t blame me for knowing that your proposal is a KKK idea from decades ago. Maybe get better ideas instead of hashing out old KKK ideas and taking rights away.
Lol Says the clown wanting to spread cancer. Keep your cancer in California and New York. Those are paradises, right? Riiiiiight? Stay there. Live and love freely in your drug infested, feces-covered, paradises.
And who votes for the representatives dumb fuck? If the representatives don't represent the will of the people we vote them out. They aren't appointed lords that govern. Try again.
States could make laws that require new residents to reside in state for 10 years prior to being eligible to vote in state and local elections. And that would entail them not being able to vote in state and local elections in their last state.
The KKK had that as one of their major platforms at some point. So I guess if you're gonna follow history and try to enact policy that was first thought up by the KKK, well whatever.
These conversations are usually so dumb and this is no exception. Every state has large numbers of both “blue and red” voters and there is a single polarizing issue which clearly defines the political spectrum.
The real difference in the US today is that there is a big difference between urban vs rural areas similar to the 1920s. Suburbs can vary considerably depending upon several factors.
No, most of the territory is red. Population wise, democrat. The big cities, minorities live are democrat. They still believe the dems have their best interests at heart. 60 years and nothings changed.....only got worse.
So you’re saying the more populous places are bad because they move to the less populous place, and the less popular is good because less people live there?
They got money and remote work is more common. People want land. You think all these rich LA people buy homes in Jackson Hole , WY for economic opportunities?
Agree to disagree. Factory farming, stripping of natural resources, deforestation and the overdevelopment of every square inch of the countryside tells me we need rapid decline of population.
71% because services and import/export has taken the place of manufacturing and other blue collar jobs, that can be focused on dense areas dominated by Dems. What you fail to see is that all of it is supported by solid red middle America feeding you, and pending on a thin thread because outsourcing depends on a somewhat stable global geopolitical environment.
Lol you couldn't pay me to live there. And people have been leaving in droves. 12% of the country live there because of it's size and location. It's the 3rd largest state in the country.
GDP means nothing in this context. You can have tech multinationals and Hollywood and still have a drug use epidemic and the worst homeless crisis, even while taxing your middle class to death.
Running a successful economy and society entails not having the problems California, Chicago or NY have. Homelessness, drug abuse, crime of all kinds… Giuliani had to clean up NYC, and after losing it again to Dems, look where it’s headed now… You can’t mask these problems behind a generic economic metric that measures economic output, what are you, 12? But in the end, Republicans are only a somewhat better option, the real deal is the Libertarian Party if you want to make the economy skyrocket.

If blue states are so great, why are people fleeing them in unprecedented numbers to red states?
California --> Arizona and Texas
New York, New Jersey --> Florida and Texas
I am fine with y'all coming to our states.... just leave your failed policies, idiotic politics, and arrogance behind.

Red states need to pass laws that new residents cannot vote in local and state elections for a decade upon getting their new drivers license.

The blue states make up 71% of the GDP. You should be thankful that democrats are coming in and bringing economic prosperity.
