      Come on now don’t bring up that in one of the “left most” and most populous state in the union that people are actually pretty non leftist, it might contradict some of their feel based arguments.

      America is not full of progressives. I don’t know why people here can never be convinced otherwise.

        America is not full of progressives.

        No it is not and I’ll toss another example on there -

        Gay marriage was only legalized nation wide by a bunch of unelected judges, and the second most-recent Democratic president “evolved” on the issue less than a decade ago.

        US postures as the world’s defender of LGBT rights when it’s “bringing democracy” places, but it’s not great at doing that internally.

        America is a country that lies to itself. It claims we need to make female super heroes flat chested to combat sexism, but then turn around and laugh at the idea of a female president so hard they’re willing to give Hitler a second chance.
