More affordable housing is needed and our leaders are working on this. We are leading the nation in energy efficiency and renewables. That's a major feather in our cap. We can't seem to get that fast train done, but I suppose infrastructure is getting built. At least we are willing to pay for what we need. Education suffered for years from when we were a red state and voted against taxes. We are still slowly recovering from this. Immigrants are probably an educational burden.
We are pretty progressive, but we still vote wrong on many voter initiatives. Hispanics are a big portion of our population, and immigrants from everywhere are welcome. They work hard and get ahead. They may not all be liberals on every issue though. But so far, California remains very blue in national elections, and the turning point there was when Republican Governor Wilson attacked immigrants with an initiative. The Republican Party never recovered from that mistake here.
I see Classic Xer likes to attack the current mayor of San Francisco, probably because she's a woman of color. She is not presidential material, but as far as I can see she has a good grasp on what to do and does it. So does our governor; he's very active and can-do and may become president someday. Increasing crime is a problem here, but that may not be unique in the nation. We are below the national average per capita in covid cases because our liberal government is at-least somewhat willing to act on it. We have strong gun laws and have the results from this too, as do most other blue states.
She's Presidential material, Biden just proved that an old senile fool can become President of Acirema these days. Like your governor, she knows what to say and knows what not to do to stay in power.
There's the old joke "Anyone can grow up to be President"... and I have seen Obama as an example of someone becoming President despite having an African father... well, he's smart, hard-working, honest, erudite, cautious, and moral. The other side is Donald Trump, who had everything going right for him despite his unsuitability for high office. He's immature, cruel, vindictive, selfish, corrupt, and intellectually lazy; he has connections to organized crime.
Quote:As far as her, I don't care if she's black and has breasts and a vagina. I think she has a really cool name. London Breed, doesn't that sound pretty cool? Plus, she ain't bad looking woman either.
Unless something happens to President Biden, the first female President is most likely to be Amy Klobuchar, who is not going to win beauty contests.
Quote:BTW, you and the other stooges have proved time after time that race, gender, sexual orientation matters more to you than me or the overall competency and know how of the individual that you and other stooges will support.
What is your excuse for failing to recognize the gross inadequacy of Donald Trump as President?
Quote: With you guys, it's more about their marketability and using them to accomplish than actual competence and what they can actually do on their own at this point. Like I said, she figured out who her real bosses were and how much she stood to loose by ignoring ghetto slugs as far as money aka funding but its probably to little to late because the damage she helped cause is already done at this point.
Quality matters to us. We liberals despise tokens.
Quote: So, are you ready for millions more to support and millions more entering illegally too? Like I said, you are the only people that I know who are dumb enough to continue (vile word -- please replace it with something like "messing up") themselves. I'm sorry dude but your sides collapse and the chaos that ensues is going to be kind of fun to watch.
Illegal aliens do something many privileged Americans do not do. They work, often at jobs necessary but odious to lazy people who prefer soft work or none at all.
