This is a pretty short sighted from someone I’ve come to respect for seeing the bigger picture. This problem isn’t limited simply to Democrats in California.

Oh bless your heart. You can’t see sides or history either. On the other piece: Texas, Florida, Idaho, large portions of the south have been that way a long time too. California is a valid complaint however it’s dishonest to pretend or ignore that republicans don’t have legacy control of states voting preferences.
In any case, notice that people are fleeing Blue states for places like Texas and Florida, and the Eastern Oregon counties want to join Idaho to avoid being dominated by the crazies in Portland.
Not to the extent of California? That’s inaccurate. Review the % of republicans elected (and the lack of real competition) in the states referenced.
To your other point… I’m live in Idaho. That East Oregon joining Idaho thing you’re leaning into was around long before the issues of this thread bloomed.
I’m not pro dem or republican however this thread of balaji’s simply doesn’t paint a full picture. He also stands to potentially join the white staff and/or be an appointee to a high level govt. position in lieu of a Trump win. It’s simply not honest and seems to be politically motivated which wasn’t something that was so transparent when I started paying attention to Balaji.

Did Thiel put you up to this? 🤔🤷🏻♂️🤭
I actually agree Republicans are also building one-party states and wrote about that before too (https://x.com/balajis/status/1711301185494482969).

Correct, it also applies to Democrats in other Blue states.

Not to the extend as California.
