Imagine a world without red states. Without the southern states, the rest of us would enjoy:

76. So, I Would Imagine California Being So Progressive Already Has ALL The Laundry List Accomplished

Correct me if I'm wrong about the things California has accomplished.

1) Universal Healthcare: Nope

2) No Guns: Nope

3) Strong Unions: Maybe a few unions left out there.

4) A Humane Minimum Wage: Probably Not

5) A Humane Immigration Policy: Not Very Likely, just look at companies workforce and whether they hire undocumented workers and how fair they are treated.

6) High Revenues From A Fair Tax Structure: I'll bet this isn't something being implemented.

7) A Massive Public Works Program: Not anything I've heard about

8) Legal Gay Marriage: OOPS, California is not even close on this one, they are way behind on this as other states have made this happen! And the voters even voted on this a few years back and it lost at the ballot box. OOPS!

9) A Ban On Carbon Emissions: This makes very little sense, but I doubt very much this is in place already!

10) Electric Cars: Perhaps a few, but not very many.

11) Stronger Workplace Protections: Let's ask the field workers who harvest our food if they feel as though they are being protected in the workplace.

12) Extended Family Leave: I'll bet you have this covered!

13) Longer Unemployment Benefits: How long should they last?

As I recall California gave us Nixon, and Reagun.

Yep, and then there is/was Duncan Hunter, Randy Cunningham, John Doolittle, Richard Pombo, George Radanovich, David Drier, Jerry Lewis, Robert Dornan, Dana Rohrabacher, etc. etc. What did any of the above list of representatives do for ya?

Sheesh, Silly Season has started early here.

I volunteer as a Precinct Chair and I am working on turning my county back to being Democratic, as well as the state in general. We should ALL strive to be supportive of each other instead of this divisive bullshit. I only mention your state's reps as a general observation that every state has Republicans in it and people who vote to put them into office.

What if ( heaven forbid ) California became a "red" state? How would that make you feel when other Democrats started hating on your state because you weren't the right color? This nonsense is rather tiresome and very juvenile at worst.

I've been informed that I should lighten up. Perhaps I should, but perhaps the better solution would be to start embracing each other instead.

ALL You Need Is LOVE!
