If Connecticut is such a utopia, why did the Whalers leave? Why are they constantly trolling New York on pizza and Massachusetts on basketball?
Heck, if Connecticut is a utopia, why haven't we seen a parade of people move there? I love Connecticut but it is it's own worst enemy.

"Why does everyone bother the most unbothered place of New England? Connecticut is quiet, dark, and boring to some but to others? We don’t need to be constantly entertained by bright lights and the big city. If we want that, we can go to NYC or Boston via train. But in CT? We are going to the dispensary, getting our adult beverages, have legal ‘protection’ from intruders, peacefully blue [cap emoji] and minding our business. That is called utopia.

The 2022 NCBE Judicial Voter Guide. Not a peep from the Dem candidates for SCONC to vote for them in order to keep a Dem majority. You wouldn't see that today. #NorthCarolina #NCpol

Help me. I can't get off of that God forsaken cesspit.
Tell me you're a troll who knows nothing about politics without saying so. I doubt you've ever set foot in North Carolina, even for a layover in Charlotte.
This is at least the FIFTH right winger with such a take. #NCPol Threads is hopeless.

Let me get this straight.
The NCGA is 71R-49D.
The NC Senate is 30R-20D.
The SCONC is 5R-2D.
The Council of State is split but the Auditor became a Shadow Governor out of spite.
But Democrats run North Carolina because the Governor is a Democrat.
Make this make sense. #NCpol

Why is it that everyone I know who is actually in New York – from Mid-Island to the Capital Region to Jamestown – lowkey miserable?
Why is it that I can't stand NYS Democrats, especially back in the 2000s, just slightly less than NC Republicans?

We have entered nostalgia for 2010. The same 2010 in which Democrats, in a Census/redistricting year, fell asleep at the wheel, crashed the car, and gave the insurance money to the Republicans.
I miss 2010 too but, remember, Democrats sat on their hands post-ACA.

That recovering news anchor was Nancy Cozean, formerly of WAST/WNYT Albany & WTZA in the Hudson Valley, later mayor of Poughkeepsie, NY.
Nancy Cozean is the only former co-anchor of Ed Dague (the guy on the left) to win an election, unlike some crazy lady from Arizona.

Let's go back to the Giancarlo Stanton trade in 2017 and this hot take of mine which holds up well.
In hindsight, the Mets are also the Dems and 2025 is their Harris/Walz. Start strong and then go mid and rug pull.
