Well let me be the first to thank you for the extra dollar a litre on my fuel, the extra hundred or so dollars a month on my mortgage and the impending recession that your choice has imposed upon me here in Australia.
Thanks so much for voting in Trump and his enablers.
- aurareturn 7mo agoRather than blame this voter, why don't we put some blame onto the democrats. In San Francisco, progressive democrats have wasted billions on homeless and crime but with little to show for. Sometimes democrats do push too far left. Far left is not that much different than far right.
- nozzlegear 7mo agoHorseshoe theory is real, but much like Seattle, SF's biggest problem is politically active NIMBYs (and SF has more than most places). Democrats and Republicans both have NIMBYs, it transcends political boundaries.
- aurareturn 7mo agoNIMBYs aren't causing homeless problems.
- nozzlegear 7mo ago"I don't want affordable apartments or housing in my backyard because it lowers my property value" is a pretty clear amplifier of homelessness.
- aurareturn 7mo agoYou do realize that normal people who can't afford a city will just move to a cheaper area right?
- ceejayoz 7mo agoCool. Who staffs your stores when everyone moves away? Who mows the lawn? Who builds the houses?
- nozzlegear 7mo agoThat's not at all incompatible with what I said though, right?
- Nursie 7mo agoBecause, uh, Democrats didn’t do this? I don’t really give a rats ass who runs the internals of your country, and what goes on in San Francisco seems like a you problem. Due to voters like this, Trump is now my problem many thousands of miles away. Don’t underestimate just how much ill will he is generating around the world, especially in allied nations, by insulting leaders and pushing up all of our energy prices.

- qwerpy 7mo agoStrange that when Democrats mess things up “they didn’t do that” or “that’s a you problem” but when the other side does something you’re very quick to assign specific blame. One-sided thinking like this is why no one can find common ground anymore and politics has veered off into extremes.
- Nursie 7mo agoThere’s nothing strange or one-sided there at all. One party or other mismanaging San Francisco or Seattle has zero effect on me here in Australia. A madman waving his dick around overseas and insulting everyone does though, and is costing me hundreds of dollars a month. And you voted for it. Thanks.
