I see Freepers post this all the time. I live in NY. I didn't vote for these clowns. Did I get the government I wanted?
I live in California, tell me, who has it worse.
And yes, even as minorities we get the government we wanted because we still live where we do. When we have had enough, we will move.
You're right. I always refer to the people who vote in regimes like the ones under which you live as "the voting majority of %$@$$@ers" instead so that good people like you are excluded.
I live in MD and to say I have any sort of effective representation in our state government here would be a complete and total lie as well.
The majority of your fellow constituents did.
And that's the way it is - I would think about moving. - I did.
You're still there, aren't you?
I left that hell hole for Texas decades ago ... and never looked back.
“I see Freepers post this all the time. I live in NY. I didn’t vote for these clowns. Did I get the government I wanted? “
Same here. I see this idiotic statement and variations on the theme often and it is getting tiresome.
Funny I never read “The people in the United States elected Obama and the Democrats so we should just quit bitching because we got the government we wanted.”
It sure sucks sometimes when the enemy has taken over your territory. Life in the Finger Lakes region would be superb were it not for the New York government, which I most certainly do NOT elect and most certainly do NOT want.
