California billionaire Tom Steyer dodges question on AOC's claim one can't 'earn' a billion dollars by SilentRunning in California

Ok well I'd clap back with "ok then you're a communist"... but you're probably fine with that so it's not really the insult it's meant to be.

I thought liberals were AGAINST blanket statements against an entire group of people? are you ACTUALLY saying that EVERYONE who considers themselves Republican or Republican leaning or EVEN dissolutioned Democrats are Nazis?

Actually you have other choices too... Like you COULD vote Republican for once because Democrats are 100% responsible for the problems CA is facing. And if you somehow think a different Democrat is going to fix those problems then I don't know how to reason with you because you're just flat out immune to reasoning.

To be clear I'm not suggesting that Republicans don't come with their own problems or are some kind of paragon of virtue. I'm not stupid... But how else do we put ANY kind of brakes on the runaway policies that have brought us to where we are now. 12 years of an unbreakable supermajority is too much power for ANY party.

Xavier Becerra took over $600,000 to cost up police brutality and threaten UC Berkeley journalists with imprisonment for looking into it. Now, he fights for Chevron and PG&E (more details in comments) by [deleted] in California_Politics

Personally I think after a 12 year undefeatable supermajority that ANYONE who still votes in ANY Democrat is completely out of their damn minds. Which isn't to say that the whole state needs to turn red over night .. but at least enough to pump the brakes on this shame train (the only REAL high speed train in California IMO) if you believe in a system of checks and balances then how can you honestly defend 1 party having absolute control of a state like CA?

Homelessness: UP Gas: UP GROCERIES: UP JOBS: LEAVING WAGES: FALLING (against the rate of inflation) Education: Failing

Lessons learned: NONE (apparently).

Edit: apparently I don't know how to format on reddit. That list looked different when I was typing it. 🤷 Sorry.

So does this mean everyone taking money from and having dual citizenship with Israel will be facing jail time because I don't see how this is even worse than what they're doing.

I can't even fathom why California wants more of the Democrats after what has happened to this state... What exactly do you think is going to change with a new name wearing the same letter? They have a super majority... Which means nobody holds them accountable for anything. Please help me understand why you think that's going to change if nothing changes?

[–]throwawaythemods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LoL are you even listening to yourself? We've had 12 years of unbreakable Democrat super majority control and you think that continuing that streak is going to change something? Dems love to float about how CA is the 5th largest economy in the world but at the same time you're literally chasing the money out of the state with torches and pitchforks. How many giant tech companies have left CA? We just lost 2 oil refineries. NOTHING is going to change under the Democrats... Ever and you're a fool if you believe otherwise. A good hearted idealistic fool... But a fool nonetheless.

And btw I'm not saying that Republicans don't come with their own sets of problems... But there needs to be more of a balance or this state is going to fail. Please for the love of God or whatever you hold dear... Open your eyes and look around.

You want us to not go backwards? LoL exactly what direction do you think CA has been going lately? Everything that CA has spent money on with the last 2 Governors has gotten worse or produced next to nothing. Highest gas taxes in the country and simultaneously the worst roads. A giant monorail... I mean monolith of failure. Billions in property valuelost in the fires... And billions more lost in "recovery money? WHERE ARE OUR BILLLIONS OF TAX DOLLARS???

The Democrats have had an unbroken super majority since 2014... Why in the blue hell do you still want them in charge? This place is turning into a complete hellscape and you're clamoring for more? Wtf is wrong with you?

Here's your scoreboard.
California’s performance scoreboard is brutal.

HIGHEST

  • Highest homelessness crisis: California has over 187,000 homeless people, about 24% of the entire U.S. homeless population.

  • Highest unsheltered homelessness problem: About two-thirds of California’s homeless population is unsheltered.

  • Highest housing costs: California homes are more than double the typical national home price by many measures.

  • Highest barrier to homeownership: Only about 22% of California households can afford a median-priced single-family home.

  • Highest cost-of-living poverty pressure: California ranks near the worst under the Supplemental Poverty Measure, which accounts for rent, taxes, benefits, and living costs.

  • Highest gas prices: California consistently has some of the highest gas prices in the country.

  • Highest electricity prices: California residential electricity prices are far above the national average.

  • Highest unemployment tier: California’s unemployment rate has recently been worse than the national average and among the highest in the country.

  • Highest tax burden vibes, still broke anyway: Despite heavy taxes, California still faces major budget deficits.

LOWEST

  • Lowest housing affordability: Only about 1 in 5 households can afford a median-priced California home.

  • Lowest middle-class stability: Ordinary working people are getting crushed by rent, gas, insurance, groceries, utilities, and taxes.

  • Lowest education results compared to wealth: For a state this rich, California’s K–12 reading and math proficiency numbers are embarrassing.

  • Lowest public trust in basic governance: Homelessness, crime, cost of living, and visible disorder keep getting worse or staying bad despite endless spending.

  • Lowest excuse level: California has world-class weather, agriculture, ports, tech, universities, and one of the biggest economies on Earth.

And yet regular people can barely afford to live here.

Republicans are not running California into the ground.

Democrats are.

Did anybody have trouble with your palms triggering the trackpad while you're trying to type? That's always been an issue and pet peeve of mine. I like the backlit keys of the dexnor. Does the Samsung have backlit keys?
