Does this even matter? If so why? How? What should the relationship be between these & other states? Is this sustainable? Wise?

[DrPepper12]

The world is full of makers & takers. It's unfair & obscene.

Shit happens. Don't like it? Move!

GDP / revenue isn't everything

It's like this...

[dreamstar72]

Maybe we should blend red and blue together and make indigo. This way politicians might work together for the greater good of humankind.

Amen brother

Its very expensive to bribe people into supporting a lawless goverment

WINNER 🏆🙌🏻

[Friendlybro79]

It's hypocrisy when citizens of red states or Republicans in general don't admit this. They like to think they are sulf sustainable without blue states support. This is what I believe as a progressive.

Regardless of how annoying and ignorant people are, we all need to support each other. We need to find the right balance of using all of our tax money, and have it benefit the masses as well as folks that can't help themselves. This betters society and is the right thing to do. We can do that and still have capitalism but we have to have more control of our own tax money which we don't under the status quo and the establishment politicians on the left and right.

[DrPepper12]

Well said. Eliminating the Senate would be a good start...

[lightbulb27]

CT and RI produces a lot? This chart is BS. Texas and Florida plus ohio produce 3 trillion of the 21 trillion,

It's also sad if read the bottom of this link... our "economic output" is mostly health care (which means we are sick), old age... education (which many recognize as not financially worth it bar some exceptions), and security... e. g. military.

but sure, the big cities are cranking out GDP... because the govt is dropping $ in there, like nyc. wherever there is an international airport there is "growth"... e. g. money printing.

Sure, they are producing something, so good job!

I assume you mean GDP. If so, that is not even close to being true. By GDP, the states on that list and the states not on that list are very close to 50-50.

[DrPepper12]

It says revenue. 🤔

[NathanDavis]

if you pretend that Texas and Florida do not exist... sure, maybe then, this could be near to any true... lol

[DrPepper12]

Revenue is not GDP. Try again.

[NathanDavis]

I know... I didn't read you wrong, lol

Texas by GDP is in second place, just above New York state

when it comes to revenue, Texas is still third place... just below New York state

and this one fact alone does tumble your 80% Blue "statistic"

[Avicenna]

Lol, that is complete and utter BS. But I‘d be happy to let all of them leave the US and form their own country if they think they’re being taken advantage of (if only- no one feasts on the federal trough like Virginia and Maryland).

[DrPepper12]

You COMPLETELY ignored proportion. Yes, the beltway is the biggest teet of all but you know damn well the rural ROI is off the charts...

[Avicenna]

Off the charts? That’s a huge exaggeration, especially considering all the money Democrats shower on corrupt cities they run, including the massive amounts spent on illegals.

[Anonymous]

so are Democrats are still the party for the poor and working class?

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

They maybe were, in the 80's? By now, far-right apparently seduced large chunks of the working class. Promising more gas and money. Maybe the working class will receive what has been promised, maybe they never really cared about being exploited in the first place? If what they ever dreamed of is just more gas and money then I suppose they're fucked. Until the next awakening.

[Opinion Owner]

@Maybe_Maybe_not well it makes sense when billionaire and celebrities and other upper class elitists like Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Sexyy Red, LeBron, Jennifer Lopez, P Diddy, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Mark Cuban, George Soros, Mike Bloomberg and many more support the Democrats

[DrPepper12]

Not really. No one is but Working Family Party here in NYS

[Opinion Owner]

did you vote for the Working Family Party?

[Jennz6]

Very unfortunate

[Likes2drive]

They really need to work together it seems

[Dongie]

... and?

[DrPepper12]

There's six questions. Take your ⛏️

[Dongie]

It's like this, a pile of left-wing bulkshit to make them feel better about everything subce Trump embarrassed them yet again. So we are to accept that the most lucrative states are run by democrats. Because look how well California, especially San Francisco, is run. I mean, just look what Biden has done for inflation. The border and peace on this planet. If WWIII is prevented for the next three weeks, Armageddon may be more than 3.5 years away.

[DrPepper12]

So is that single or double malt tonight? 😏

[Dongie]

Here's the thing. 14 states are for anarchy, while 34 patriotic states reign supreme. There is no soothing the discontented hearts of the SJW. They will watch Trump turn everything into a fully functioning and healthy country again X 10 and they will still be pissing and moaning about how fuckin rude he is to terrorists, outlaws and scum. So I say eat your hearts out you bloody fucking fools. We, the rest of the country are about to enjoy ourselves as much as you fucks did during the rainbow reign of that lying, un-American Obama.

[Dongie]

Eeh, I'm just exploding over here, Doc. I was just awakened by loud neighbors. And my house is 60 feet from their driveway. Aruba!

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I really doubt 14 states could appreciate the subtle, and terribly hard to get right, political flavour of anarchy. I mean true anarchy, as in a leaderless and godless state of things.

[Dongie]

I'm sure they don't control every fucking person in any state. Not even Californication
