    She’s young and doesn’t understand that government doesn’t get fixed in a day.

    I’m old and I’m still waiting for the government to be fixed.

      Abortion was illegal for 70-120 years depending on the state. It was 50ish years from the progressive era and the beginning of birth control to the ruling of Roe. Overturning roe was a 50 year political project by the right.

      Sometimes it takes a lifetime.

          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.

              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.

              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.
