        California is doing pretty damn good. Not perfect, but head and shoulders above the rest of the country.

            “Nothing is perfect, therefore everything is equally shit.”

            What a stupid philosophy. Like all “bothsides” bullshit.

                Is the stupid shit Democrats do significantly less stupid than the stupid shit Republicans do?

                If you keep getting punched everywhere you go, it’s time for some introspection my friend.

                  Yes, but it’s still stupid shit that will get done in my name, with my money, that I have no power to prevent.

                  And in your opinion I should be happy about it.

                    You’re not happy about a significant reduction in stupidity of the people in control of your government?

            Income, life expectancy, healthcare access. Union membership. Cali home prices are unaffordable because people want to live there and are willing to pay for it.

              I mean it guess they’re not banning books or switching to school vouchers but I’m pretty sure low income households are doing just as bad if not worse over there

              Aren’t they, like, tearing down homeless encampments on a monthly basis?

            By being richer than most other countries in the world.

            That’s really what it’s about anyways. Identity politics are just icing for wealth generation for the upper class.
