And you've made a thread just to bash liberals by posting two pictures without any context or reasoning. You give no reasons why Liberals cause what the second picture shows. There is no information for all we know those rundown areas could have been in conservative governing area or a liberal one. This thread is basically lacking any substance.

Liberalism means bigger government, the abolishment of the constitution, a welfare state, dependent on the government, and of coarse killing babies.That sounds like liberty to you?
Funny you said you were not a liberal.

I'm only liberal in some areas. In others I'm conservative in a few I don't really lean one way or the other.

Yeah, they have a funny definition of what "liberty" is. Of course, they are liberals, afterall. It's only natural for them to have a looser/more liberal definition of the word.

Wow, so devoid of arguments 🙂
Lemme note that blue states on the whole are more prosperous than red states, we gain way more jobs under Democratic presidents than Republican ones, and the biggest financial crash of the last century was caused by a lack of regulation. Oh, and unions are good at preventing income inequality and Republicans are against them and Democrats for them.
For all the insistence that liberals are so bad, in actual objective performance measures they tend to beat the stuffing out of conservatives.

Show me one city/state liberalism worked in.
Well, for cities, the most prosperous cities in the world are in Europe and other more liberal countries.
On a Quality of life index, the top two *US* cities are Honolulu, which has had universal health care for 30 years, and San Francisco, that hotbead of conservatism. Then Boston, then Chicago.
For states, here's US states by median household income:
The top states? California, New York, Minnesota, Conneticut... liberal ones in short.
To look at some quality of life indexes, Hawaii takes the top slot, again the state that's had universal health care for 30 years.
Now, conversely, if they're outperforming conservative states, and you're placing the bar at a level where you don't consider liberal policies to be a pass... doesn't that mean that conservatism have really failed, since it can't even come close to match the performance of liberalism, which as we've established, is clearly horrible?
To modify a phrase, "Liberal policies are the worst, except for all the other ones."
