“Orangelover this is one of your most shameful posts ever. Attacking and slandering a small, minority owned business because they support their friend who IS pro train (but not with the full throated cult like dedication that you seem to display) is utterly disgraceful and a clear display that you refuse to operate honestly or in good faith.
You should be ashamed of yourself for this post.
Try to see the nuance in reality. Try to understand the tradeoffs that will affect South county residents if we prioritize the train over other badly needed services. Think out of your narrow idealogical box for just a minute. Try to understand that you might be wrong. Grow up. Be better.
Unfortunately you will do none of those because you think your are righteous and seemingly lack the self awareness to stop and ever question yourself.
I await your reply where you will surely do none of those things and double down on your position.”
is this sub orangelovers’ personal political sub or is it about Watsonville? u/hootygator
