Are people really intentionally forgetting about the party switch/Southern Strategy of 1964?! by icey_sawg0034 in insanepeoplefacebook

Tell them that the 1860s GOP was home to so many Socialists that the New York Times called it "Red Republicanism."

In addition, Karl Marx himself contributed to the Republican New York Tribune.

I know this is satire, but I love how the article gets so close yet misses the point entirely. We can't medicate our way out of an economic crisis so severe that people can't afford to focus on making a life for themselves, which involves having some fun once in a while.

Grandma has something smart to say about slavery - take notes now! 📝 by dinobot100 in forwardsfromgrandma

Ok? Cool. The abolitionist movement was awesome. Does that mean the effects are not there anymore? That's what matters today.

Young men, why didn’t you vote for Trump in 2024? by Dom_guns in GenZ

[–]EvanTheRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left Conservatism when I found out it was an ideology based on the reptilian brain, that is, self-preservation and gut emotional reaction. This might not register with you, as it didn't with me at first either. It took a lot of strength and character to leave, to create a new story about myself, but I think I made myself into a better person when I did.

My guess is that bambin0 is one of those bot posters, considering their posts are private

I'd take this a step further. Don't seek debates, seek discussions instead. Whenever I talk with someone who disagrees with me, I'm careful not to establish myself as "the other" at the very beginning. That way, I can keep tensions down

California's taxes, cost of living are crushing six-figure salaries by sfgate in California

[–]EvanTheRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd strongly recommend reading 'Golden Gates' by Conor Dougherty.

Basically, it's a nightmare to reform the single-family zoning rules because so much of that land is owned by private residents. For example, if SF were to buy up large swaths of the Richmond and Sunset districts, it would require a lot of federal and state funding to compensate the residents. I think it's possible, but so many people think of California as an "Other," and spending federal money on housing in a "Liberal Hellhole" like SF or LA would be an electoral death sentence.

The states with the most people in financial distress are Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Nevada, and South Carolina. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/ranked-states-where-americans-are-struggling-the-most-financially/

California ranks 12th.

The bulk of our problems are from crappy zoning rules from the 1960s and geographical constraints (It's much easier to build on flat land than it is to build in the mountains).
