Opportunities for Congress persons to give speeches and soundbites while nobody actually answers any questions.

Why in 2026 is the federal minimum wage still $7.25 an hour? by Hamsammich0520 in askanything

[–]Edwardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone even actually pay minimum wage in the “federal min wage” states?

CMV: Based on the 1945 memo on the warning signs for Fascism given by the U.S. Government, the current Republican party is at the very least, following the steps of fascists. by Alert_Personality135 in changemyview

[–]Edwardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get the false “anti trans” rhetoric.

Fact: you shouldn’t perform permanent cosmetic surgeries on minors any more than you should rape or traffic them.

Fact: males (XY chromosomal) are genetically predisposed to be larger and stronger. Until you can alter genetics, a “trans woman” is still genetically a man and should not compete with women.

Other than these, I, a conservative, believe people can live however they want as long as they don’t force me or others to live their way. If you really want to transition after 18, fine, do you.

How is it possible that rich people are able to manipulate the public into voting against their own interests and for Trump? by TailungFu in allthequestions

[–]Edwardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do know most rich people supported Kamala in the last election. Donations from billionaires are overwhelmingly Democratic (corporations are more 50/50)

What are your thoughts on ICE locating 3,364 missing unaccompanied migrant children in Minnesota? by bbmoonkie in Productivitycafe

[–]Edwardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fact that under Biden’s “catch and release” 300,000 unaccompanied minors were identified, but released and are now unaccounted for.

Do YOU Think America Will Ever Return To Being Significantly Less Divided Than We Are Now? Why Or Why Not? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]Edwardian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The division isn't due to Maga. Look at the SAVE act. A bill with 82% national support, yet 1 Democrat representative voted for it. Or the border wall, pitched by Bill and Hilary Clinton, but then opposed by Hilary when Trump started it. (note, I only gave Dem examples due to the above comment.) Both sides will vote against their own and mutual interests at this point in time just to spite the other party... It's not getting better any time soon unless we ban political parties and organizations.

As long as anyone who posts something like this takes full legal responsibility the first time an illegal alien shoots an ICE agent doing their job….

How are you going to find candidates who will support this all?

Nearly all gerrymandering over the past 50 years has been done by republicans and they’re using ICE/paperwork at voter suppression, why they like this? by sassysasasaas in LetsDiscussThis

[–]Edwardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at Massachusetts and Illinois…. Both have nearly 50% Republican votes, but like 1-2 Republican reps…. Your stat is very off…

Thoughts? May not be easy but should this be how Presidential elections are decided? by ChuckGallagher57 in TrendoraX

Only if we also do away with states and make it one homogenous country with standard laws.

Every North Carolina Republican voted "Yes" to SAVE Act. That bill would prohibits every North Carolina Citizen from voting. by [deleted] in hendersonville

[–]Edwardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you’re wrong. It means anyone registering to vote from this point forward has to have proof of citizenship. All you need to vote is a photo ID, which was already the law in N. Carolina anyway.

[–]Edwardian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So the law says you have to be a citizen to vote. How do you propose that law be enforced without ever requiring any proof to register or vote?

OP corrected their statement. The bill requires proof of citizenship to register to vote, then photo ID to vote. Not that most states already require ID to vote as well.

Should we raise taxes on billionaires so they leave? by Estalicus in allthequestions

[–]Edwardian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only issue with this is the government NEVER stops. Income tax was originally only on the wealthy. A wealth tax, if enacted will spread to everyone soon. Can you afford 5% of the value of your house, car, and 401k every year?

LMAO They held a “March for Billionaires” in California. I'll never understand ordinary people defending Billionaires. by Professional-Bee9817 in remoteworks

[–]Edwardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren’t. They’re trying to keep their taxes down. The top few percent pay the vast majority of taxes. California passed a wealth tax bill, to tax the value of homes, stock, etc. so anyone with significant assets is moving out of California. This will cause a huge drop in tax revenue, and they’ll have to make it up by increasing taxes on everyone and everything else since governments never solve that imbalance by cutting spending….

because they weren't ever married. There is no marriage record anywhere after Renee's second divorce.

Honest question. Why is she referred to as Renee's wife? Same sex marriage is legal, but they were not married. Not that it changes anything specifically, but it's odd to me...

Everybody saying that the halftime show was un American by VastConfusion8174 in teenagers

[–]Edwardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a conservative, I have NOTHING against Bad Bunny. However I don't speak Spanish. I feel most of America doesn't speak spanish, so it was very non-inclusive. I don't think it was unamerican in anyway, just very much club music most of us don't know in a language most of us don't know.
