The State of the Democratic Party II

[Telconi]

The Democrats try to be the grownups in the room and the public makes them pay for it. Biden has the straight talk candor that cultists claim Donnie has without the vulgarity and sordid history.

Oh yah, Maxine Waters is definitely a grownup.

It's always interesting watching Trump supporters scramble to find sources that backup the world view that everything's fine. This is fine, and he's fine

It went up again since then, so no.

I mean, it may in fact be down again, but alas.

If that was their only policy position, sure.

Why is one of the guys in the "Immigration and Diversity" picture giving another one a sidelong look like he just shat on his grandma?

Lol. I haven't read Part IV yet and I'm not sure if I fully agree with their predictions of Democratic dominance in the next party realignment. But I do think they have a point on using California as a benchmark for what kinds of policies the US electorate will favor 10-20 years from now.

Whoa, whoa. We embezzle our own money quite proudly. I'll have you know the Feds didn't trust us enough to build our own highways this time.

That's some low-quality propaganda you've got there, bruv.

I thought the idea of California setting trends for the rest of the country to follow was interesting.

Why California Politics Is Always 15 Years Ahead

What do we mean by California is the future when applied to politics? Modern California politics has an uncanny knack of prefiguring what happens in the rest of America in about a 15-year timeline. In other words, what happened in California 15 years ago should be studied closely to see how it will play out in America today. And what’s happening now in California will roll out over America in the next 15 years.

California experiences the future earlier than other parts of the country. Californians invent many new technologies, adopt them early and adapt new systems around them relatively quickly. They absorb waves of immigrants at the highest numbers in the country and accommodate them into their society quicker. The state is a magnet for young people, entrepreneurs, and people who want to change the world. Much of the population is unusually open to trying new things in the economy, society, and in politics.

Plus California has an outsized influence over the rest of the United States. It has the largest population of any state, with 40 million people, and its economy compared to all nations would be the sixth largest in the world. It’s the home of Hollywood and the digital media giants and has a huge impact on promoting next generation ideas.

Whatever the reasons, a strong case can be made from the observed facts on the ground that California blazes a political trail about 15 years before America follows.

I meant the picture. It kind of reminds me of one of those memes where it says something like "Why not come to CALIFORNIA? We have:" and lists 6 strange/terrible things.

Down, down, down. Descent into the abyss

California's "future transport" literally picked the slowest bullet train that is also the costliest to build. Bullet trains here would be great, but come on.

It's the new pervasive government that can take control of your fingers.
