however californians are obsessed with how i live and what I do

Nor will they stop making socialist policies in their own state.

But never mind that

james link me to what you are tlaking about

The federal government is skewed in representing and pushing the values of smaller low population states @SPEARS

james the federal government should not be making policies that effect state sovereignty

thats not what its for

I think Californians are not obsessed with anyone else but am open to sources proving otherwise.

As a Californian, I can attest... We are not concerned about how middle Americans conduct themselves whatsoever.

Perhaps that's why more legislation needs to be accomplished at the state level.

establishment repubs and dems absolutely ruined it though, and made you think that my lifestyle was invalid and compromises yours, even though I am further away from you than russia is from france

They constantly vote to criminalize drugs for decades

Oh lord what have I walked in on 🙈 we don’t always have to agree but let’s try and be civil 🤷🏼‍♀️

Drugs should be completely legalized

I think these low population states really should just leave and stop taking money from the federal government they contribute nothing to

Get Mitch McConnell on board @busillis

james i am pretty far right and I think the drug war is absolute bullshit and a human rights tragedy

Or vote him out

Well you guy started it with you moral panic for decades and keep doing it @SPEARS

Term limits

james i agree with that too. once my state isn't being subsidized by the fed government to grow corn for ethanol, you wont have a platform to say that I am negatively effecting your life just by existing

This conversation is exactly why the framers gave all the legislative power to the states and limited the federal government. People pushing for the fed to mandate states is what's put us in this mess.

nor can I say you have a right to dictate mine

@busillis you can just vote him out

@SPEARS I think that's the danger of painting with such a wide brush. All differences of ideas are automatically framed as Good Us vs Evil Them.

joe biden wrote the bill that literally expanded the drug war and made new prisons

And everyone agreed

if you think that there is a difference between establishment dems and repubs you are lying to yourself

The American public wanted it.

The chance of me moving to Kentucky is nearly zero

The 90s were a shitty time, life is not what it was 30 years ago.

yes maw, but you can't deny how proud biden was and how much credit he took for it on behalf of the dems

He did... He owns it... Thinks he made a decision that he thought was best at the time and sees now that it was a mistake.

@SPEARS yes so please leave the union.

I know having to compromise and deal with conservatives legislators is not something we need to do. Note that was a favorable bill amongst conservatives

I'd move to Kentucky if the girl was hot enough.

@SPEARS While it was politically convenient to do so.

I'd expect this of all politicians.

james its all in your head. you think there is a battle between you and people like me but there isn't

Sure? I wonder how the wife will react?

> however californians are obsessed with how i live and what I do
@SPEARS No battle.

stop electing and sending people to the federal government that want to infringe on my 2nd amendment. if anything you are the one to blame and I should be mad at you and asking you to leave the union
