Liberal Hypocrisy is Fueling American Inequality. Here’s How. | NYT Opinion

It’s easy to blame the other side. And for many Democrats, it’s obvious that Republicans are thwarting progress toward a more equal society.

But what happens when Republicans aren’t standing in the way?

In many states — including California, New York and Illinois — Democrats control all the levers of power. They run the government. They write the laws. And as we explore in the video above, they often aren’t living up to their values.

In key respects, many blue states are actually doing worse than red states. It is in the blue states where affordable housing is often hardest to find, there are some of the most acute disparities in education funding and economic inequality is increasing most quickly.

Instead of asking, “What’s the matter with Kansas?” Democrats need to spend more time pondering, “What’s the matter with California?”

Hi, I'm Johnny Harris, one of the producers for this Opinion Video. I've always wondered why famously liberal states like California and Washington struggled to advance progressive policies, so I teamed up with NYT Editorial Board member Binya Appelbaum to get some answers. I'd love to know what most surprised you most in this video, or answer any questions you may have about how we made it — leave your comments below.

I would never have believed the NYT would run a story like this. Well done.

I got assigned this video for one of my college classes, but the professor did not discuss the video during class. It seems like the main people who need to hear this aren't going to.

Whoever designed my neighborhood back in the 20's , did it right. It's about 65% single family, the rest are 2 families, four families and one well kept 12 unit apartment. Some small shops in walking distance with apartments over them and sidewalks and catwalks to make it easy to get around without a car. I grew up poor in the apartments and now own one of the nicer houses. The neighborhood hasn't changed much.

As a conservative, I would absolutely love a piece from the New York Times that approached the Republican Party in this way. Respectful criticism is refreshing.

This isn't exclusive to the US. Both sides of the political spectrum have been captured by corporate interests in the UK as well. Nothing will change until we remove the bribery, sorry, campaign donation model of government. Its actually a disgrace!

I normally click past & ignore NYT because I find them partisan. This video was concise and informative. Thank you.

I want to make some points 1. This is the world we deserve when we prioritize feelings and emotions over logic and reasoning. 2. Both sides, liberal and conservative may have a point. But we will never know what is actually right when we are shunned, name called, bullied, and doxxed for a simple disagreement. We have regressed as a society because we rise to agree to disagree.

California: Let's build affordable housing while we make it insanely expensive and difficult to build anything!

Binya said "people aren't living their values". He's got it backwards: they are living their true values while espousing a completely different set of values.

And now we have learned why we don't call Liberals "Left wing", they are not.

Great video from the New York Times. I’m from Maine a very liberal state and I grew up in a town with a world class private school where kids applied from all over the world while the two school districts next to me struggled to get teachers and fund their sports teams as we built new turf fields and dorm facilities. Disgusting show of inequality that happens in every corner of the United States that no political party wants to address.

Coming from a left wing person, it’s great to see a video that isn’t just mindlessly bashing the right but shows us what we are doing wrong

This is a mass manifestation of people "wanting to have their cake and eat it too." They want to tout the ideals of everyone living a comfortable life, but they want their prestine parts of life to never be touched to make it work. Thus the vicious cycle will persist.
