Liberals are the problem in Washington state. Not republicans. Change my mind

We can’t change something that doesn’t exist.

Move to Idaho.

Considering Democrats have had control for decades and in that time we've become on of the most economically productive states with a very high standard of living even in more rural areas I don't think they are the problem....

Did you really just say that Washington has a very high standard of living? Seattle which is one of the main attractions in this state is ranked number 3 in the country for amount of homeless, and have you seen the state of Tacoma? And what about the massive increase in violence in all democratic cities which has repeatedly been ignored as an issue. The facts are clear and concise you just choose to ignore them.

Lol? Those aren't quantitative measurements of standard of living. They are issues sure but overall our violent crime rate for the state is still significantly lower than the national average. Property crime and homelessness have increased in the majority if not all cities that have experienced similar growth and economic prosperity as Seattle. There's no mainstream party in the US that's been shown to effectively addresses the underlying causes of that...

Regardless of the issues that do exist it doesn't change that overall we do quite well compared to many of our peers especially being a smaller state.
