So, is California "full of crime"? Seems to me you should ask, why are there so many red states higher than California if you feel that liberals and progressives have turned California into Hell.
If you just look at murder rates, California isn't even in the top 10 anymore.
Why is NYC so expensive? Welcome to capitalism.
And why does Bernie rail against capitalism but have a net worth around $3 million?
Because what he's talking about isn't about people being comfortable or owning 3 properties. What he is talking is making sure the billionaires and the large corporations are taxed so they can pay for the things people need like healthcare, education, and food security. He wants Wall Street out of politics.
Oh, did you not remember the last time this was explained to you? Or the time before that.
Because a President ordering the DoJ to release information about a political rival being investigated by the DOJ is ... say it with me... corrupt.
By tradition and organization a President cannot order an Attorney General to do anything involving an investigation or a trial.
Like, as an example, releasing potentially damaging information from an investigation. Why? Because of the presumption of innocence. If the Government releases a statement saying Candidate X has been investigated for Crime, then they are put on trial in the public. They weren't convicted in a court of law where they could face their accusers.
So why didn't they? because they weren't supposed to.
Do you understand that now? Or should I repeat it to you again but a different way?
They did expand healthcare. But remember when Obama was elected and he had a super-majority in the House & Senate. The original proposal was medicare for all.
Wanna guess who stopped it?
I'll give you a hint: it wasn't the Republicans.
What progressives have control of a House, Senate, and Governor's office to "turn a state into hell"?
