Lots, but currently pretty fucking infuriating to see cops get an increase of 160 million, while the fire department gets ~17 million cut. But I guess it balances out if they use those police to build an indentured class that they can pay next to nothing to fight the fires instead!
See part of why I have so much of a gripe with liberals is this sort of mentality here. California is one of the most solidly blue states in the country. Since you didn’t defend it on the merits, it seems you agree the choice I described in my post was not great, correct? But instead of realizing that it may be possible that rich politicians from your team are not actually on your side, you just defer to nebulous ‘ancient laws’ that apparently make it impossible for helpful choices in, and lets be clear here, a city deciding it’s own budget. Care to point to the federal and/or state laws that just hamstring the benevolent liberals of LA and force them to increase the police budget by 160 million dollars? Laws that apparently can’t be challenged, or circumvented by the liberals in those positions, since they would certainly do so if they could, right??
Honestly, at the time they probably were the left. Depending on which definition of left vs right we are using, because of course there are multiple stances on what left vs right means :(
Kinda hard to say but youre probably right considering the 13th amendment passed in 1865 and it was between the mid 1800s and early 1900s the parties switched
Well that’s only fair, because I’m pretty tired of dealing with their policies.
And those policies are?..

Yeah totally policies set forth by liberals. Totally not ancient federal and state laws

Rich politicians are not liberal. They are neoliberal. There is a vast ocean between the two
Neoliberals huh? So where are the liberals in all this? Destitute in the streets?
Next to the leftists
Where are the leftists?
