Well, they may get what they vote for.

[gcode]

Well, they may get what they vote for.

they'll get what they voted for and they'll get it good and hard

[CNCAppsJames]

Well, they may get what they vote for.

That's kinda that same thing, no?

[CNCAppsJames]

Luckily NYC is mostly insular. What goes on there... they kind of have to suffer through whatever it is. Kinda like Lost Angeles, and San Franfecesco.

a HEAVY gripe I have against The People's Republik of Kommieforniastan are the things that WILL affect the rest of us. Take for example Kommieforniastan's "Unfunded Public Sector Employee pension liability".

Currently their future obligations outpace the savings by north of $1,000,000,000,000. A TRILLION FUCKING DOLLARS.... by ONE STATE! WHEN they cannot pay that bill, guess what, the rest of us will have no other choice but to bail them out.

NOBODY is talking about that. Instead the harpies shreik "4th largest economy.... blah, blah, fuckin' , blah".

If California were a nation, it would sit around 19th highest on the debt list.... right about where Sweden is.

Each individual Californian is on the hook for ~$25,360.59 to pay for Democrat votes. That's where this folly came from. Buying union Democrat votes.

Doesn't Bernie Sanders also identify as a Democratic Socialist?

It does.

He has 3 houses, 1 courtesy of Hillary.

[neurosis]

It does.

I was just curious why people are freaking out now when we've had several in government already.

I don't know if you remember back in the way when JB was an avid Bernie supporter?

I have a few Trump friends who thought he made his fortune through pharma donations.
