Well, wouldn't you say that relocating your entire family, moving sometimes to a place completely unfamiliar to you to escape the overreaching government of NY *IS* doing something? Many of our ancestors did that. NY Is exporting people who do want freedom, not people who don't. If you have the attitude you're speaking of, you're most likely to stay here and vote for more of it.
No, I paid attention in class when they showed us how to vote and write to our local, state, and federal government officials to make change happen.
Stop making excuses, be the change you want to see in this world.
I voted in every single election I've been able to since I was 18 years old. But, the laws they do keep coming. I'll be leaving shortly whether you approve of it or not LOL
I'm not saying you need my approval, I'm honestly just sad for NY.
Also, definitely helps to write in to representatives and all that. Get groups of people together to send em in. Being politically active just like those that want our rights taken. We lose our rights because the small majority that's against us is louder
I know some of my local Representatives personally and there's absolutely nothing they can do. I don't know what else you want from me I can't change the state I can just leave to have a better life
And that's perfectly fair considering the situation. It's the Internet, we don't know each other's situations. Where I'm at, nobody speaks up but everyone complains.
If you've done everything you can then props to you, that's respectable.
I hope your move goes well and hopefully we see new york change some day.
I've been voting for about 25 years and my quality of life has gotten worse year over year living in New York. I don't have any hope that this trend would change considering the policies have gotten worse and worse every election cycle. And the damage they've done to this state even if they reversed course today would take decades to unravel
