Actually, kinda curious what people think of the new CA plastic straw ban. That's totally up Bloomberg's creek.

2018-07-28 06:00:40 UTC  

I love that quote tbh

2018-07-28 06:00:56 UTC  

It's an amazing quote. I think all Libertarian-leaners love it.

2018-07-28 06:01:08 UTC  

And this one. If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.

2018-07-28 06:01:16 UTC  

Yep.

2018-07-28 06:01:36 UTC  

That’s why even though it’s illegal, if someone enters my home. They’re not leaving alive

2018-07-28 06:01:44 UTC  

Illegally*

2018-07-28 06:02:17 UTC  

I should ask, are you from a city or a rural area? I'm working on a theory about density and political inclinations.

2018-07-28 06:02:46 UTC  

Semi rural

2018-07-28 06:02:56 UTC  

And I don’t have one

2018-07-28 06:03:11 UTC  

I like what I like and support what I support

2018-07-28 06:03:23 UTC  

Tend to lean classic liberal more than anything

2018-07-28 06:04:01 UTC  

Yeah, I'm coming to suspect that people who are more rural are more freedom-oriented and tend to adopt more generalist and self-reliant attitudes.

2018-07-28 06:04:02 UTC  

My 8 values says liberal haha

2018-07-28 06:04:39 UTC  

*generalist meaning it's better to know how to both fix your car and cook your meals and peddle a trade than just one of the above.

2018-07-28 06:04:41 UTC  

I’m like 45 minutes from the city

2018-07-28 06:04:46 UTC  

Melbourne *

2018-07-28 06:05:01 UTC  

Is it a suburb or just aways away?

2018-07-28 06:05:41 UTC  

Suburb but borders a bunch of farms and shit

2018-07-28 06:05:53 UTC  

As I said, semi rural

2018-07-28 06:06:02 UTC  

I think I read you.

2018-07-28 06:06:35 UTC  

Just outside the edge of where the town is really developed. Close enough you are essentially part of the city, but it's mostly going to be stuff like warehouses.

2018-07-28 06:06:44 UTC  

Yeah that’s the one

2018-07-28 06:08:16 UTC  

Literally borders rural hahaha

2018-07-28 06:08:57 UTC  

Yeah, I'm in a really urban center where if you drive for just 5 minutes it's farms for hours.

2018-07-28 06:09:11 UTC  

But it's still effectively really linked to NYC so you see it all.

2018-07-28 06:09:47 UTC  

Both rural Upstate and urban Downstate.

2018-07-28 06:09:58 UTC  

It's literally Hillary versus Trump to be honest.

2018-07-28 06:10:31 UTC  

Oh you’re in NY

2018-07-28 06:10:34 UTC  

Hillary is corrupt and measured. Trump is Loud and Angry.

2018-07-28 06:10:39 UTC  

Basically, close to PA.

2018-07-28 06:10:43 UTC  

Hahahaha trump is a meme

2018-07-28 06:10:56 UTC  

Yeah, he's more a symbol than anything.

2018-07-28 06:11:03 UTC  

Absolutely

2018-07-28 06:11:10 UTC  

He was a middle finger to the world

2018-07-28 06:11:27 UTC  

Pretty much. He's the middle finger Upstate has wanted to send downstate for decades.

2018-07-28 06:11:28 UTC  

And political correctness

2018-07-28 06:11:33 UTC  

Lol

2018-07-28 06:11:57 UTC  

The whole "flyover country" meme is a real effect. And the people in Upstate meet people in NYC and know it.

2018-07-28 06:12:03 UTC  

The republicans need to capitalise on ocasio Cortez

2018-07-28 06:12:13 UTC  

I'm sure they're looking into it.
