That’s been the joke with Democrats for a while now.
Republicans will propose a policy - abortion prohibition, loyalty tests for public employees, eliminating income taxes, etc, etc - and fully deliver it at the municipal and state levels (with predictable results).
Democrats will form a working group to discuss a plan to staff a committee to issue a report that says “Sorry, it’s too hard, and businesses frowned at us when we tried”.
From California’s plan for Zero Emissions Cars to Vermont’s Universal Health Care to New York Securing Wages Earned Against Theft Act to give unpaid employees liens on company property. California Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed everything from an AI regulation bill to a ban on PFAS chemicals in hygenie products to a bill banning Caste based discrimination (a popular form of discrimination among wealthy Hindus).
Blue states largely suck at actually delivering on their platforms. The corporate Dems are much more focused on “competing” with Republicans on making their states “business friendly”.
I agree with the sentiment, but this kind of discrimination against red states is no better than the shit Dumpy is pulling with the blue states today. The benefits have to be for all if we want to keep the moral high ground.
Maybe just get it done for Blue and Purple states. Red states can just shake their fists in anger and wear red hoods.

And all they’ll need is some red dye.
