We are (theoretically) a United States, but I struggle to think of a time when we all agreed on everything.
I agree with the OP. People can vote how they want, but think of what you ran from before casting your usual vote.

I have a number of neighbors and friends that have escaped from California, many feel the same way-they don't want their new home to go the way of the craphole they left. Now, that seems pretty typical in the rural areas...the more populated towns, not so sure. They are seen as trendy and were discovered by tourists.
For everyone person like you guys their are 200 sheeple who will vote and support the same failures that caused them to flee from their home states to begin with...
So the high cost of living is not caused by mindless regulations and high taxes?
It's mainly driven by population density, supply and demand. In high population density places, there is limited space and a growing population, which drives up the prices of housing over time. The red states have very low population density compared to blue states.
On the bright side, jobs in blue states tend to pay MUCH higher than those in red states, with the exception being Texas.
Aw, look the ad FROZE just like the weather
Seriously, upstate NY is very pretty.
And so was East Germany, and both have the same economical output, they are slowly dying, and after Don Cumino blocking fracking...They are truly hopeless..They are honest, hard working, freedom loving people are are finding out the hard way leftist and leftism never pay..
