The problem with California is that while they have a massive Democratic majority, they have absolutely no intent of acting like the social welfare alternative Democrats are nationally claiming to be.
Democrats have full power in California, yet it's a place full of poverty and homelessness, where poor people are screwed over hard, where housing initiatives are literally destroyed, and "undesirables" are soft-quarantined in Skid Row.
California is a place where the rich benefit and the poor suffer. Democrats chose to make that happen, and they choose to perpetuate it. Progressive efforts in California amount to nothing but lip-service, it's a blue-painted right-wing state. The only conservative things it rejects is religion.
This is your daily reminder that no politicians have your best interest at heart. You can say one party is better than the other but they're both bought and owned and you didn't get to put in a bid.
One side actively tries to take basic human rights from people, and the other doesn’t. They both may have been bought, but only one is actively trying to make sure groups of people don’t exist
Right. The republicans are like the cop kneeling on George Floyd's neck while democrats are like the cop standing to the side watching.
That's not necessarily true. The good cop isn't really trying to look out for you, he's just there to make the bad cop more effective, but they both want the same thing from you.
What you said is true, but let's not do mental gymnastics to get to the conclusion. Actually giving a damn about the people, means actively opposing the bad guys. You pointed out 1 good thing about the dems: being passive. Is that all they've got? I have basically the same problem in my country, the quality of life for the average person here got worse more or less constantly in the past 20 years, with any major party in power
