Voters in New York and California Personify the Definition of “Insanity”
Amac ^ | November 17, 2025 | Timothy H. Lee

Although the legal and clinical definitions may differ, popular conception defines “insanity” as repeating the same behavior and expecting different results.

By that definition, leftist voters in New York City, California, and elsewhere recertified themselves as insane last week.

Year after year, election after election, voters in “blue” cities and states follow the same recipe that has brought self-imposed economic and demographic decay for decades: bigger government, higher taxes, more regulation, unsustainable benefits, and sprawling public-sector obligations. They keep repeating their behavior, even as jobs evaporate, families leave, and businesses take investment elsewhere.

Decades of left-leaning politicians and public policies in those locales have steadily driven the cost of living upward, saddled employers with higher taxes and labor costs, and made relocation the rational option for millions of residents and enterprises. In obvious contrast, “red” states like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee practice more conservative governance via lower taxes, less regulation, business-friendly climates, and more modest public-sector footprints.

Those aren’t abstract principles. Voters’ choices determine population shifts, Congressional reapportionment, cost of living variations, and economic growth.

BULL EFFING CRAP

Every poll showed native new yorkers overwhelmingly did not vote for the islamo-commie, the only people who did were recent immigrants brought in by Biden

And in California the evidence of cheating is so overwhelming that only a freaking low IQ loser would ignore it

Welcome to FR!

What proof do you have (if any) of your claims?

Cheating and polls....

The last time NY went red in a Presidential Election - 1984.
The last time CA went red in a Presidential Election - 1988.

I think you’re full of crap noob.

A “majority of voters,” in either State is probably about 10-12% of the adults, if you account for those that don’t show up to vote, and those that don’t even register. Crazy has a big advantage, in that it is motivated.

50% register=>50% of those actually vote==>50% vote for crazy/stupid

We’re being led by the whims of what 12% can be conned into believing.

“Who invited all those people in? Oh. Right. DemonicRATS.”

You are partially right, they were not just INVITED, they were definitely paid by USAID to come to NY to intentionally vote like this, that is why Biden’s admin. flooded the border

No doubt you are correct that as far as real voters, the majority of potential voters never bother to show up

Wait until those braindead New Yawkers find out that Hans Gruber is going to show them that Socialism isn’t free.

And yet those states are still insanely liberal.

You prove absolutely nothing with some “stats” from who knows where on X.

Can you even define insanity?

Your graph ignores the fact that the blue counties in California are more populous than the red counties. A lot more populous. Unlike Nebraska, we don’t split our votes, so it’s who gets the most votes that matters rather than where the votes come from. If you think California is a red state you obviously haven’t spent much time in San Francisco, LA, or even San Diego.

Welcome to FR, by the way.

Was Ronald Reagan a Democrat when he opened up the flood gates of illegal immigration after signing the Simpson Mazzoli Act?
