Some Red State/Blue State Indicia

One question for leftists (and I obviously mean mqt as I know no other academics are able to defend their ideas)

If yall could flip Newsom for Desantis, would you do it?

If not, are you betting California outperforms Florida in 5 years? What criteria do you care about?

(Again, I recognize this question has extreme limited bandwidth)

Keep in mind, this is the city many of you are crying is *about to* become a Commie hellhole and must be saved. Maybe the city folk just like different things sometimes.

These are the states who want to impose their insane energy policies on the rest of us, when they need citizens to unplug their toasters when temps rise above 90

And yes, it's about to get worse

SACRAMENTO, California — Gavin Newsom thought he could push an ambitious housing proposal through California’s Democratic-controlled Legislature. Instead, he ran into a wall of resistance from should-be allies angrily comparing his plans to Jim Crow, slavery and immigration raids.

Hours of explosive state budget hearings on Wednesday revealed deepening rifts within the Legislature’s Democratic supermajority over how to ease California’s prohibitively high cost of living. Labor advocates determined to sink one of Newsom’s proposals over wage standards for construction workers filled a hearing room at the state Capitol mocking, yelling, and storming out at points while lawmakers went over the details of Newsom’s plan to address the state’s affordability crisis and sew up a $12 billion budget deficit.

Lawmakers for months have been bracing for a fight with Newsom over his proposed cuts to safety net programs in the state budget. Instead, Democrats are throwing up heavy resistance to his last-minute stand on housing development — a proposal that has drawn outrage from labor and environmental groups in heavily-Democratic California.

…

For Newsom, a potential 2028 presidential contender, it was a striking show of resistance from a flank of his own party over housing. A priority of the Democratic governor, Newsom had put his political capital behind an attempt to strong-arm the Legislature by making the entire state budget contingent on passing a bill to speed housing development by relaxing environmental protection rules.
