Crime stats depend on people reporting crimes. Something that is actively discouraged in blue states.

Alright, starting your argument with conservative hearsay, something that's not even remotely true. Bold choice.

California has the 5th highest infant mortality rate in th country.

Cool. My argument still stands that on AVERAGE red states perform worse on just about every metric. So, not sure what you're trying to argue for.

Not everyone needs to pay a few years wages to a paper mill for a diploma they'll never use in their trade.

Alright. Something that we can agree with. However it is interesting to note that states with higher degree counts have higher average salaries, so a degree isn't a bad thing depending on what it's in.

California, Texas, New York and Florida have the four largest economies in the US. This hardly follows party lines.

Of the top 10 states based on GDP, 7 are Democrat-controlled. It's also worth noting that Democrat-controlled counties make up 70% of the total GDP in the entire US. It absolutely follows party lines a lot more than you think.

I live in Minneapolis bud. You will be actively shouted down for even mentioning that you considered reporting a crime because "the police might shoot them". Additionally, all property crimes here must now be reported to 311 (not the police) which is purely to get you a case number for insurance. They don't pursue them.

As for GDP, yeah man, urban areas are blue. It's not because they're better, it's because poor people congregate there for public services.
