A majority of them have never even been to California yet they seem to talk about it/bash it non-stop.

    It’s the fifth largest global economy…

    It’s hard proof that most of their policy is complete bullshit, because if they were right, liberal social policy and taxes would have chased all the wealthy away.

    But it doesn’t, because people want to live in places with that kind of policy

      California is a monument to the total debunking of right wing social ideology

      It plus New York fund the existence of the red states

      It ain’t perfect (cost of living has always been relatively high, even for states with comparable cities), but it’s far and away better than any red state to my knowledge.

        less gun violence rates, compared to red states. one of the favorite things to rail on about california is the gun violence, and they always misinformed. despite having a larger population with gun violence its less than places like texas.
