It sucks big-time that we lost the suburbs in New York. Now, the state is a one party town, which is something you never want, whether you're Democrat or Republican.
At least pre-1992, we could contest NY State in national elections. We lost more often than we won, but we still had a shot.
Yes we saw what one party systems can do in Nazi-Germany and today in China. Now it's happening in places like Massachusetts and New York.
Is it even remotely possible for you to cool it with the hyperbole and hyperpartisanship? I'm sick and tired of how on any website or political forum anywhere on the internet, someone has to compare the Democrats/Republicans to brutal dictatorial regimes. It is not remotely valid or called for. Please, just stop with this.
This can be said for states like Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Idaho too, not just blue states.
Kansas and Wyoming had Democratic governors as recently as January 2011.
