NYT columnist admits ‘something has gone badly wrong’ in west coast states because of Democratic leadership

[DigitalDrifter]

The west coast has become an area of the country worth avoiding.
The stench of pot, the stench of homeless, the highest gas prices. Spend your vacation dollars elsewhere, the west coast has become the armpit of America.

New York Times columnist and former Oregon Democratic gubernatorial candidate Nicholas Kristof admitted on Saturday that the West Coast cities is "a mess" because of Democratic Party leaders.

In a column for the New York Times, Kristof argued that "west coast liberalism" is more focused on the intentions behind its policies rather than its outcomes. As a result, deep blue states like Oregon have major homeless and drug problems, "below-average" high school graduation rates, and high murder rates.

I prefer Oregon to Mississippi.

I prefer Shasta County to Flyover so called Free States

I prefer Oregon to Mississippi.

Of course you do; it's overwhelmingly white while Mississippi is half your color. Nobody in Miss. cares about sniveling old white faggots trying to BS people into believing it's 'black'.

 

[LeftofLeft]

I prefer Oregon to Mississippi.

You prefer mismanagement by Leftists and then blaming Republicans for results

I prefer Oregon to Mississippi.

Portland's a Dem-run shithole, the rest of the state is ok.

Why is it red states tend to have higher murder rates, obesity rates, and lower education?

CA, WA, nor OR are even in the top ten of those categories.

Do we have to go through this again?!

As for the murder rate, the problem is with blue cities, not red states. Remove the black population, and the murder rate would drop like you've never seen it!

 

[DigitalDrifter]

These states have the lowest murder rate. Guess what they all have in common?

New Hampshire	0.00
Vermont	0.00
Wyoming	0.00
Maine	1.70
Idaho	2.20
Massachusetts	2.30
Hawaii	2.70
Utah	2.70
Iowa	3.20
North Dakota	3.40

Missouri	12.40

You said it.

Why do Trump supporters bring this up time after time.

It's like it's their job or something.

As for the murder rate, the problem is with blue cities, not red states.

So OR, WA and CA don't have blue cities?

Remove the black population, and the murder rate would drop like you've never seen it!

Is that your plan?

How does that work?

I ate at my very first In N Out burger in Redding.

This was like 20 years ago though.

Do they? The top crime-ridden cities are all Democrat-run. So maybe the red states SEEM high because their blue cities are such a mess.

I prefer Oregon to Mississippi.

So you prefer white people to blacks

 

[DigitalDrifter]

So you prefer white people to blacks

Reminds me of when Jesse Jackson said:

“There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”​

Do they? The top crime-ridden cities are all Democrat-run. So maybe the red states SEEM high because their blue cities are such a mess.

Blue states don't have blue cities?

That's your arguement?

That said, basically all your saying is densely populated areas have more crime like they have since people started forming towns and cities thousands of years ago.

Gee, thanks.
