No it's not.
- Most unequal state in America
- VERY high taxes (that are supposed to stop inequality, but it doesn't. Surprise)
- skyrocketing housing prices
- Very illiberal mindset towards the first amendment, especially on college campuses and in younger generations
- Allows illegal citizens to vote
- Very "shallow" show-off culture due to the show biz
- zdw 8y agoWhat exactly is an "illegal citizen"?
- walldivide 8y agoExactly, no building should have walls or doors, everyone should come in and be welcome everywhere.

- st26 8y agoIt sounds like the name of a B action movie.
- vorpalhex 8y agoI think that's supposed to read as "Someone who votes differently than I do"
- hef19898 8y agoSome of the Points are relevant (inequality, housing), one is subjective (shallow culture), one is relative (taxes), one is without proof (voting). And regarding the last, and this question is truely serious because I don't get it, what is it with the obsession about the First? Maybe I'm so used that everybody can voice opinion and a free press that I take it for granted, but still. And free speech goes both ways, just saying. Disclaimer: I'm not from the US, so some insight into how free speech is looked at in the US would really be appreciated.
- jedberg 8y agoIt's a common dog whistle from the right about college campuses suppressing the free speech of Conservatives. Their complaints stem from Conservative commentators being rejected from speaking gigs on college campuses, sometimes because of protests.
- hef19898 8y agoThanks for the answer. Maybe, I'm being optimistic here, society learns how to better deal with diferent opinions in the future out of this. Just for my understanding, it is more about the venue of where conservative commentators are allowed to speak and less about the fact that they speak in General? If it is that it seems to be kind of abusive of the First, trying to use to gain admission to every conceivable place for a Rally or talk.
- funkythings 8y agoThis is not about conservatives, it hits everyone: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/8/3/17644180/political-correctness-free-speech-liberal-data-georgetown https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/8/3/17644180/po... Making this issue a conservative vs liberal issue is dishonest and doesn't get us anywhere
- hef19898 8y agoYeah, that is right. And I won't deny that there some very fine idiots on both sides.
- funkythings 8y agoTry again, kiddo. This is not about conservatives, it hits everyone, ESPECIALLY LEFT WINGERS: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/8/3/17644180/political-correctness-free-speech-liberal-data-georgetown https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/8/3/17644180/po...

- chc 8y ago> VERY high taxes (that are supposed to stop inequality, but it doesn't. Surprise) This isn't justified. There's a lot of inequality in California, but given the makeup of the state, it seems reasonably likely that it would be even worse if the state were more hands-off. > Allows illegal citizens to vote This is not even a little bit true. You should really vet your sources of information more carefully.
