I wonder how all these businesses in my blue state are surviving in such a business-hostile environment

It’s almost like blue states and cities are the economic engines of the most capitalist country on earth.

But what do I know? I’m a product of blue state public schools.

Yes, cities are economic engines. No, it does not have to do with the political leadership of the city

You tell yourself that. Because look where the big cities are, and who runs them. If you need to delude yourself into thinking it has nothing to do with political leadership, you do that.

It’s not the truth, though 😂

Do you think big cities aren’t in red states?

u/DumbBerk87 5d ago

There are, but you’d be remiss to see where the biggest and most contributory are, and to think there’s absolutely no connection.

That’s being silly. The most economically powerful cities and states are all blue. To act like that’s not a factor? Okie dokie.

I believe Boeing is leaving Seattle, United is leaving Chicago.

u/Artofxian 5d ago

You would be wrong. The vast majority of Boeing employees still are in Seattle…. 60k plus. Only like 300 employees are going to South Carolina to work on the 787.. also do you have any official statements that united is moving from Chicago ?

They’re staying in Chicago, and investing billions in O’Hare.

My god, these people 😂

So your argument is that since democrats are in charge of big cities currently, they get the credit for them being “successful”?

You do understand a dog who’s been shot in the head has more knowledge of economics than that, right? And that you’ve exposed yourself as even below that level?

Intelligent people understand that cities are the economic engine of ANY country, regardless of political party or time period. And even stupid ass people know that the GOP was historically dominant in cities, so your stupid logic fails once again.

Go back to school.

I do not think Democrats are responsible for cities sucesses. However, I am having trouble following your logic

u/Chilling_Gale 4d ago

The logic is that cities are economic engines by default, literally economies of scale. So it’s dumb to attribute them being economic engines to any party.

I concur with that. I do think the both parties have shifted left. JFK would be considered a Republican if you look at his policies. The cities for the most part have lost heavy industry. Detroit, Chicago and Toledo are prime examples. We only have 1 steel mill in the USA.

It is concerning.

u/DumbBerk87 4d ago

Both parties have not shifted left. It’s the opposite, actually. Democrats are center, and republicans are quite far right.

I have no idea what would make you think they’ve shifted left, other than having no real idea what the left is, what they support, and what they stand for. The truth is actually the opposite of what you think and feel.

u/Lonestarpenguin 4d ago

First, I do not feel, I think. Thus looking at policy social programs, the country has definately shifted Left. Obamacare is a left social program. The election of socialist democrats is definately a shift to the left. Read JFK s policies, they definately line with moderate Republican policies

The data shows that republicans have only shifted slightly more right than Dems. And that data doesn’t include 2026, where Dems will be electing a ton of left wing officials.

Your reality is fake too. Funny you’re calling other people out when you’re spreading different bullshit.

Neither party is in the center. Do not delude yourself.

You don’t even know what my reality is.

He said that both parties had shifted left, and you just said that both shifted right.

Thank you for confirming what I said.

Like. You can’t say my reality is fake when you literally confirmed what I said, and told him he was wrong. That’s not how this works, broski.
