Not in Hawaii. We have a weird blend of Democrat in name and somewhat Conservative and Liberal function almost everywhere in the state.
I chuckle whenever any one claims Democrats are liberals. They clearly haven't been to our meetings.
The only thing Democrats agree on is opposing Republicans. And even that isn't a hard rule.
After that, policy wise, we fight about everything. No issue, or point of fact, too small to start a blood feud over.
We feel that way too! So why don't you leave us alone? (If you hadn't noticed its not 1992 and nobody is trying to teach your kids abstinence-only education anymore.)
In fact there are still places teaching abstinence-only education and I'm pretty sure that trying to keep the existence of LGBTQ people from being mentioned is not a huge step forward.
Sorry, I don’t understand. Who is “we” and “you” in this scenario and what are “we” doing to bother “you”?
What’s up with people throwing “bad faith” around lately? Did some sort of memo go around?
> Forgive my language, but what utter crap. It's a vaccine against a deadly and contagious virus.
I’m not talking about vaccines. The person I was responding to made a more general point about rural areas versus urban areas and localism. I was agreeing with him.
In the end, the best thing we can do is to insulate ourselves and our loved ones from government intervention, focus on local politics, and take control of our own consumption i.e. we can't rely on the government to do what's best for our children.
We should use these high paying remote jobs to buy nice homes with lots of space and access to good schools and healthcare. The rest of it will sort of work itself out.
And if we're being honest, climate change will get us before the government here can /shrug
