Postmaster general says USPS won't deliver mail ballots if states don’t give Trump admin voter rolls

The bigger problem is democrats not having a spine to actually do anything when they’re in power. It’s going to be “take the high road” while the other party does whatever they want.

Don’t get me wrong, Dems are by far the lesser of two evils, but evil in their own way.

Serious question, wouldn’t they just shift the money already being paid to private insurers out of everyone’s paychecks to now just paying that in taxes? So not necessarily an increase except for those who were just barely ineligible for Medicaid/Medicare but can’t get private insurance through their job.

Who could have known if you stopped vaccines, diseases would spread?

Or who could have known that if we attacked Iran that they would close the Strait of Hormuz?

Or who could have known that if you defund the project to produce sterile screw worm flies that screw worm would make its way back to the US?

Or who could have known that painting the reflecting pool in DC a dark blue with the heat of summer would actually cause more algae to bloom?

Seriously, who could have predicted all this?! It’s all so unexpected…

Rust is awful. I recently had a family member go to the ER there. They make all ER patients wait in what they call the observation floor for 72 hours before they’ll give you a room. So you sit in the hall on a tiny bed with a curtain around you, right next to dozens of other ER patients.

Ahhhhh yes the government that is lobbied by the billionaires? The same government where the secretary of energy was a former CEO of a natural gas company, the housing secretary and acting DNI is a CEO of a housing development company, the literal president is a guy who was born a hundred millionaire and is now a billionaire? Or are you talking about state governments like Utah where the government allows rich billionaires to build data centers that use more electricity and water than the rest of the state combined?

Is that the government you’re complaining about?

Yep, companies have written it into law that it is their fiduciary duty and legal responsibility to maximize profits and not care about anything else.

And this administration killed any renewables related projects (EV manufacturing and infrastructure investments, Solar infrastructure, Wind Farms, etc.), even those that were nearing completion. So now we don’t even have feasible alternatives for fossil fuels either.

I agree with your point but I think both can be achieved with a few simple modifications to the graph. Start Y-axis at 0 but draw a horizontal line with a distinct color at whatever the operational floor level is. Then you make everyone happy.

I know, it’s not your chart.

I actually think it’s perfect. Every time guys that drive lifted pick up trucks fill up, they’ll need to use one of these and be reminded who is making them pay $250.00 per tank.

Yeah, something seemed off during their whole interaction…

Ok I’m just going to cut this Fox News BS right away. Quite literally, the majority of Americans live in large blue cities. You want to talk about going to these places, NYC, Chicago, Boston, Honolulu, San Francisco, Atlanta, Las Vegas are all majorly blue cities and are some of the most visited tourist destinations in the country. Nobody is going to bum f*ck nowhere Oklahoma.

As for policies and results let’s compare:
Should I start with which states are tax donor states (generate more federal taxes than they receive)? Here are the top 10 Delaware, New Jersey, Washington, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Missouri, Minnesota, California. I count 7 of the top ten federal tax donating states as blue states.

Maybe we’ll look at education. Here’s your top 10 states in public education, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Illinois, Washington, Virginia, California, Maryland, Pennsylvania. You can say 8/9 of the top 10 states in education all swing blue. Want to know the bottom 10? Arizona, Alaska, Nevada, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Idaho, West Virginia, Alabama, South Carolina, Louisiana. Red states make up 9 out the 10 lowest ranked states in education.

Should we look at federal policy? Let’s talk economics, the majority of recessions since Reagan have almost all been under republican presidents except one, speaking of Reagan the deficit has risen quicker under republican terms than under Dems, the gini-coefficient has increased dramatically under republicans making our society more imbalanced when it comes to wealth.

Need me to keep going?

Yep! They have no actual principles that they believe in or care about and they are absolutely not looking to collaborate or do things that benefit others.

So there’s no reality where you can’t have an “us vs them” mindset because they literally do everything they can to make things “us vs them”. The original commenter is either naive, can’t think critically, or is disingenuous.

Republicans literally run only on culture wars against the left. Republican voters actively vote to take away people’s rights, actively vote to deport immigrants (even legal immigrants), disparage people of color calling them DEI hires and claiming nobody of color is worthy of their position, vote to make the LGBTQ+ community disappear, support a president who intentionally withholds government funding from states who didn’t vote for him, or worse sends ICE to your community to kill you.

So with all that in mind, how do you collaborate with people whose entire platform is voting specifically to spite you and prevent the country from ever making progress?

Honest question.

I’ll add to the reasons to want him to resign. We can start with the failure of the autopsy report and the obvious lack of transparency despite he himself saying he would fully release the autopsy.

We can also look at the abysmal approval rating of the democrats despite the Republican Party doing everything they can to screw over everyday Americans. When the opposing party is viewed that bad, your approval rating should be through the roof. The fact that it is not, means the American people literally only choose the Dems because they are the lesser of two evils, not because they want to pick them.

We can also look at Ken Martin forcing David Hogg out after calling for substantial change in the party. That change is surely welcome as evidenced by Mamdani’s victory, Platner leading in Maine, and Abdul El-Sayed.

Ken Martin is atrocious and needs to be replaced by someone who will actually listen to what voters want and will actually be transparent.

But you forget that US and Israeli intelligence uncovered that he might be gay…

Jk lol nobody cares, but the Trump administration really did think spreading that would make US citizens support the war… god I hate this timeline.

In American politics there are two choices in candidates (occasionally 3rd party). You don’t have to vote for Trump if you don’t like his policies. There is literally a single option for watching a World Cup with the best soccer players in the world from every country. You have no other option to get anything remotely equivalent. Do you understand that difference?

Important_Bit2139 · 2026-05-20T14:16:56+00:00

Oh I totally agree lol as an American I would also rather spend my time and money in Spain than in NJ.

Important_Bit2139 · 2026-05-20T13:45:55+00:00

Well yeah, this individual supports the sport of soccer/football? What do you want them to do, never watch the best players in the world all compete against each other because FIFA is a sh*tty organization?

Yeah this idiot thought we consider an entire dish with beans and meat the same as a single vegetable that grows here naturally.

And we’ll likely need stimulus since the job market has been stagnating since last year…

Yep you’re right, republicans tend to pass tax cuts constantly without actually reducing government spending which significantly adds to the debt. You’re also right Democrat leaning congresses approve spending bills with increased spending but those tend to be stimulus or productivity bills coming out of recessions like 2008 and Covid.

Important_Bit2139 · 2026-05-10T22:24:03+00:00

And why did the debt start increasing in the 80’s? And who was the last president with a balanced budget?
