Living in a concrete box for 3x as much per month is better?

Maybe ask someone whose biggest problems in life aren’t that their bodega closed down?  Ride sharing is nice if you live in the ‘burbs and want to make an event in town with lots of booze, or a flight or something.

So far, the Dem primary feels less like survival of the fittest and more like a 100-man street fight where the last guy standing has to fight Mike Tyson.

I’m not that wound up around it, to be honest. Heck, last Halloween I dressed up as Robert E Lee. Gotta have fun with it, right?

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

It doubles as a pole for my confederate flag.

You’re making my tiki torch spin ;)

You are an amazing person.

Believe what you want dude.  Maybe go talk to someone outside your bubble if you don’t want to talk to me.

Keep on slaying those strawmen, Tex.

I was stationed at Fort Drum for five years. Trust me, nobody there is going door to door ‘cuz some dipshit in NYC six hours away is telling them to.

You don’t seem to understand that people living in different places have different priorities. It’s why a purely democratic society with a giant city and a small town is going to leave the people in the small town constantly disappointed with their representation.

They don’t need to help them, they just need to ignore you when you try to tell them to go oppress people.

Military bases all being in those same rural areas, it’s sort of cute that you think they’ll go out and oppress their neighbors on your entitled behalf.

I’m just saying that if you want smaller states to give up political power, do you think larger states should give up financial or cultural power? Move some Hollywood studios to the midwest? Shift some investment banks into the south? Should Apple or Alphabet move to West Virginia?

Yeah, California and New York are just suffering under the yoke of those Wyoming aristocrats ;)

You are aware that the United States was founded on precisely the opposite principle, yes?

Enjoy your new CVS or Chase bank, aimless urban blogger.

I prefer, “let every state have some measure of power.”

“Um, because it’s a position that is blatantly hostile to the smaller states that we still need to win to regain the presidency.”
