As another fellow Washingtonian, I'm getting pretty tired of subsidizing willful stupidity.
Red states are a luxury we can't afford anymore. They need to pull themselves up by their freedom bootstraps and start turning a profit, or the spigot turns off.
I can only vote blue so many times. If I didn't laugh, I'd cry.
Man, red states are much different here and there. Here red state means communist state, in US it is exact opposite.
honestly it's not willful for a lot of residents there because of gerrymandering instead of redistricting.
