And both California and New York are insanely liberal. Who would have thunk that both these states are screwed up royally. What a shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I think one is crazier, the other says "hold my pinot noir..." Still, it's NY that suspended a driver's license I didn't have for not having insurance on a car I didn't own in a state I didn't live, then used that as proof of residence to collect income tax I didn't owe.

Don't we all owe something to someone in the larger sense? Thank you for your contribution, komrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If "upstate" (11M+ people) would get together and outvote "metro NYC" (8M+ people) we could stop with all the stupid. On the other hand, the NYS Senate has been "Republican" for the vast majority of the last 100 years, so I'm not sure how solid my theory is.

B-Man Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 The Democrat’s lurch to the Left will only accelerate. The Democrat party has been captured by far left donors and activists who are compelling the move even further left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This includes more in infrastructure funding, education funding, and economic development funding. It's a little more even between us and NYC when it comes to medicare and medicaid.

Spent two weeks in L.A. 2 years ago and my son lives in N.Y.C., We visit him yearly..... There's no comparison, L.A. is a cesspool of RW intolerance. In N.Y.C. it's more of a to each their own vibe.

This is how democracy works, it ebbs and flows between the left and right, and sometimes the extremes of each. I understand fully the difference between Clintonites and Bernie (bernoids?) people. What I also understand is that both groups are substantially populated with people who declared themselves to be "ungovernable" after the last election. I've long been an advocate of taking private money out of the electoral system. I'm sure Tasker will swoop in to tell me I'm a hater of the Constitution and a dangerous fascist for thinking that. But until you remove corporate interest, union interest, religious interest and any other well-funded interest from the system, you'll never have something approaching democracy.
