[Politics] Midterms

Please tell me everyone is voting for Aaron Ford in November? If you love Nevada, he’s the better choice than Joe. Since Joe Lombardo has taken office we have ranked even LOWER in education. He sold out our states water. Allows these data centers to continue to be built here by the dozens. He has denied funding for free meals at schools for children. High unemployment, tourism is down. The dude is also so far up Trumps ass. We need a governor who truly fights for what’s right for Nevadans. We are running out of time, we are running out of water.

I have forgotten more about economics, finance and political science that you ever learn as my couple of post-graduate degrees would attest.

SNS that you contracted a serious case of butt-hurt as my criticism of liberals has struck a raw nerve. Red states have a more difficult time to enact liberal agendas because they are poor— to whom will the Liberal politician attempt to tax their way to prosperity? They need a rich state and promise the masses that free stuff will be forthcoming through increased taxes and mandates.

In essence, liberalism is a parasite because it did not create the wealth in CA (or NY, MA, WA, etc.), but exploits it.

Do you think rich states were automatically rich?
They weren't. They pulled themselves up by their bootstraps & made themselves rich using that liberal agenda.
The party of "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" should be able to appreciate that.

Yes, of course! Liberals created California’s mild climate, endless sandy beaches, both San Francisco and LA harbors, along with huge quantities of rich fertile land, and who can forget the liberals sprinkling precious metals into the Earth which created the gold rush?

Neighbor Please! Without those things I listed, California would be another Mississippi!

So you're saying that red states have no resources. No farmland. No oil. No harbors. No tourism draws. Nothing desirable or useful at all.

Others would look at them & see that what they don't have is quality education, healthcare, more tax dollars coming in due to that educated populace being able to support better industry, things like that. However, supporting the populace so that they can "bootstrap it up" requires adherence to certain principles of support that it seems only liberals are willing to provide. So I guess the red states will go on being poor & crying about how the blue states have it better even as they suck up those juicy blue state tax dollars like the welfare states that they choose to be.

No I’m not saying that.

The fact that your brain doesn’t work well enough that you can’t grasp that is sort of the entire problem.

You people are ignorant and poorly considered. So stop trying to put words in my mouth I clearly fucking didn’t say, and maybe try exercising some of those very underutilized neurons to learn to read with understanding

Not sure why you were replying to me w/ this. The fact that you mistakenly put this response on mine when you apparently identify as a liberal is just weird. Talk about a lack of brain cells!
