We're supposed to be the United States of America. But in many ways, we're now divided into two very different nations: red states and blue states. Which ones are succeeding? Which ones are failing? And why? To answer these questions, economist Stephen Moore compares them side-by-side.


So what about out Progressives/liberals/socialists, Refute the link with facts, logic, and common sense. It isn't too late to change your ideology

Good grief, neither, until you guys get your shit together...which is about as common sense as one can get in 2020.
 

They don't get any more right wing than this source. This is literally the peak ladies and gentlemen.

I prefer to live in a Red state but I have very much enjoyed traveling the country and the world soaking up the beautiful scenery, history and cultures of the many places I've been to.
 
I'd like to live where I live so I can help to vote out as many Republicans as possible. Maybe when they lose their seats, we can hire them to work as independent contractors.
 
Red or Blue does not figure into the equation for my family.....taxes, cost of living, weather, and being away from the Cities rise to the top of the list as important factors for me.

got it none of the information in that link resonates with you, doesn't support your narrative thus doesn't have any merit. How many U.S. states have you lived in to show you have credibility?

Isn't that what this link talks about, cost of living, taxes? Liberalism isn't free as the left wants you to believe, it only benefits the rich liberal elites who have become millionaires taking away incentive and keeping you dependent

Right, pimping for posts again I see, not addressing the issues in the link none of which resonates with people on the left so they divert from the actual issues and costs of liberalism. People aren't fleeing from California, NY, Illinois, NJ?? Nothing independent about liberal bureaucrats and you cannot afford liberal contractors

Right and as usual the source is more important than the content of the article? Refute the content and stop attacking the source, that will help your credibility. How many states have you lived in? Why are people fleeing the states mentioned?

It's relevant that anything they source or claim to be true is unreliable because they have a history of extreme bias and outright dishonesty.

My family has been in Texas since the late 1800's... I'm staying and turning Texas BLUE again...

Then refute it with facts not personal opinions. You don't think people are fleeing those blue states for opportunity and costs?

Of course you are because you miss and want the high cost of living in blue states. Posts like yours are hilarious showing the incredible ignorance of liberalism

Is this the real estate market where people are fleeing? Who is buying these homes?

Let me repeat, my family has been here since the late 1800's... We prefer Texas when it BLUE... Are you under the mistaken impression Texas has always been a red state?

I'll leave other people to quibble with you about this. I just wanted to add that context. Your argument comes from one of the most biased political sources on the internet.

i was thinking that we could hire them back as pages or to work in the mailroom or something. $2.13 an hour plus tips so that they'll be encouraged to work really hard. no benefits, though. we need that extra money to give to the rich. if they need healthcare, we can route them through Medicaid, and then send them some minimal bill that they might miss so that we can kick them off! they don't need Medicaid anyway, the lousy takers. if bankruptcy is good enough for the orange king, it's more than good enough for them, too. let's help them to really experience and appreciate their preferred system.
 
I would expect an economic genius to be able to explain why housing is doing so well in a state where people are fleeing. Do economics not work in blue states?

I would expect an economic genius like you to have the answer, a sucker is born every day. Now answer the question how is it the bluest state of them all and the 5th largest economy in the world has the worst poverty, homeless, largest number of illegals, worst quality of life. It is amazing how the grass is always greener on the other side with people like you who are biased and totally ignorant to reality. what exactly is the cost of liberalism in California?

Why is it that a link based upon facts and data that doesn't meet your narrative are always called biased and partisan? I gave you newspaper reports showing the same thing, you want more official numbers go to the census bureau. What is it about people like you so partisan and biased that you refuse to accept official data and reports focusing totally on the source not the content?

Let's take a guess... When the median house price is over $800K, why do you think there is poverty and homelessness? Is there any correlation there?

@CaughtInThe

Could you explain to this guy that I am actually a Trump operative and not a left wing partisan?
