The governor was just ousted because of years of sexually harassing women. Crime is out of control in the cities. Businesses and people fleeing the state. New York just ranked as one of the worst states on their response to Covid.
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin was arrested Tuesday in a federal corruption investigation, creating a political crisis for Gov. Kathy Hochul seven months after she selected Benjamin as a partner to make a fresh start in an office already rocked by scandal.
Benjamin, a Democrat, was accused in an indictment of participating in a scheme to obtain campaign contributions from a real estate developer in exchange for BenjaminÂ’s agreement to use his influence as a state senator to get a $50,000 grant of state funds for a nonprofit organization the developer controlled.

Meanwhile Florida was just ranked as the top state on how they handled Covid. Florida somehow is now ranked as a top 5 state in K-12 scholastic achievement while spending a fraction per student compared to NY and California. I'm guessing this has a lot do with their school voucher program. Honestly I've been to Florida, the people over there don't seem too bright and they have a high minority population. How in the hell are they squeezing more performance out of their youth than New York and California?
Should the people in New York beg Ron DeSantis to take over their state and show them how a state government should be run?

lol New York has a lower crime rate than Florida and covid death rate about the same. Where are you seeing that Florida is ranked as the top state in covid? Their covid death rate is 17th worst in the US.

Corruption all around this state. But of course, "Florida is worse" as some douchebag points out as he vehemently tries to defend the Liberal stronghold known as the state of New York. He ignores the mass exodus, the scandals, the crime, all of that.
Liberals would literally defend Satan if he shared their politics. And he's getting desperate cause he's all over this board chiming in trying to refute every factual criticism of his beloved Party and warped belief system.

Lol. That's old data. Crime in NYC is already up over 40% in 2022 alone. NY crime figures are going to be ugly when tallied up this year
And Florida is the only large state in the top 10 to deal with Covid in terms of economic impact, mortality and education as determined by National Bureau of Economic Research(Wall Street Journal image)

People are leaving to Florida from New York and staying there permanently. Younger people, not just old people. Not the other way around. Explain that

:oldlol:
If people are leaving New York it's because they are being priced out, Florida is cheaper. Or just old people retiring.

The number one reason isn't the basic cost of living expenses such as rent, goods and services.
#1 Taxes are too high
#2 Better economic/job opportunities
#3 Political Climate
In that order
The largest group of people moving to Florida are millennials too

Obv it’s a solidly blue state every election, but outside of NYC I’m pretty sure the rest of NY state is red.

That is just listed as a source. Everything I can find shows NY to have a lower crime rate than Florida. And where is the source for that list you just threw out? If you don't have a source have to assume you're just pulling things out of your butt like other stuff.

For someone who spends hours each day on here discussing politics, you're still very, very bad at it.
Just something to think about.

If New York some way some how has a lower crime rate, it's because south Florida is crime heaven.. and it's all blue down there, shocking.

Trump has never said that. You see, when you try to make a smart remark, you're missing the key component. You have to be smart in the first place.
