No, they don't. Explain how, because this post certainly doesn't.
Quote:Why would you think some voters ("idiots" as you call them) would leave CA because of the policies and then vote for them in another state?
Because they're idiots who don't understand cause and effect.
Quote:If they really left because of the policies they wouldn't support them elsewhere.
They would if they don't understand cause and effect.
Quote:Now if they just left, or the demographics are changing, and those policies are gaining support in new areas that would make more sense.
Why would leaving because of demographic change make sense? That seems very racist to me.
Quote:I wouldn't move just because of the PA gas tax and then go to Ohio and vote to increase the gas taxes.
You would if you couldn't afford a home because of the sky high taxes in this state. It's not just a "gas tax" it's taxes on everything.
Quote:But then maybe I'm just not an "idiot".
I'm going to show you a courtesy you don't deserve and leave this straight line alone.

The cost of living in california was high even when Republicans were carrying the state through 1988.
"High" is relative. They have increased exponentially since this state decided anything with a D next to their name deserved to be elected. California has cratered in just about every aspect in the last twenty years.

The only reason CA is even at 19 is the economy, which is largely dependent on location and size, and natural environment, which has zero to do with politics. I've lived here since we returned in 1986, I don't need someone who may never even have set foot in the state to tell me what I've experienced personally.
