@EyerotGaming@gocyclones7@NewReaganCaucus The irony of accusing him of being obsessed with whiteness when the Republican platform is half built on “get the brown immigrants out” is pretty funny.
Alright, well betting odds have it close to 50/50, looks like you can make some money with that confidence.
@EyerotGaming@NewReaganCaucus What social ideas are weird? The Dems could run literally anybody and Republicans would find something to complain about. They never run on actual policy, only slander of other side
@jesseproudman “Terrible weather 3/4 of the year”. Have you lived in the rest of this country? Our mild, temperate, albeit cloudy weather is better than just about anything in the eastern half of America.
@camhigby@VictorLegg The mild weather is why Washington has such giant trees that don’t grow anywhere else. It inevitably leads lots of branches falling when we have weather events. You can’t blame everything on the government/power companies lol
@jesseproudman It’s one of the largest floating bridges in the world lol, they are expensive. If we weren’t paying tolls we’d be paying it through other taxes. This is getting silly.
@CaversDavi73305@MercierOnPolicy Washington has some of the best bike and EV infrastructure in the country because of these higher taxes, and the price of construction here is higher because wages are higher. You can disagree with how the money is spent, but there are clear uses for it
@CaversDavi73305@MercierOnPolicy Damn that’s crazy! Washington is doing all that while still having a 55B federal tax surplus, paid family leave, a higher standard of living, and a higher median disposable income than those states?
@CaversDavi73305@MercierOnPolicy Why does this only go one way? The cost of living here is higher because people want to live here more than those states. What is Washington doing those states aren’t?
@JoeKennewick Maybe, just maybe, the state is overwhelmingly democratic and you live in a bubble out in Eastern Washington. No, can’t be that, must be the election laws!
