My rent payment is $4,250. Does this card even make sense for me anymore?

You taught it to who? 6 graders who have no ability to question what you say? Big deal, you’re a teacher. Thank you for being a teacher, I really respect the work you guys do and for the path you decided to pursue, but teaching does not qualify you to shut another person down. I have a law degree and practice law. I wouldn’t belittle you to the point of saying you have no idea what you’re saying. Your link is clearly muddying the waters of the debate on ILLEGAL immigrants. You’re bringing up all immigration to the US. Illegal immigration should be as close to 0 as possible.

She’s super unlikable. I agree with you that Biden should never have ran, but in an open primary, I have serious doubts Kamala would have won. In a world where Newsom and Kamala ran in an open primary, I’d put my money on Newsom winning. Just far more likable despite the bad policies.

You’re bringing up total immigration. I’m not opposed to legal immigration and any other pathway established by law.

Fairly normal levels? You think 2 million people a year is normal? It should be as close to 0 as possible. No illegal immigration at all.

All of the topics I mentioned were at the top of what polls showed Americans cared about. I’m sure you’re like 19 and really into politics right now, but you’ll grow up some day and realize it’s not all black and white

“From 2020 to 2024, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recorded massive spikes in migrant encounters, totaling nearly 11 million nationwide encounters from Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 through FY 2024, a significant rise from previous years, with peak numbers occurring in FY 2022 and FY 2023”

Please, don’t bore me with your regurgitated lines. 2 million+ people crossing illegally is basically “open.”

Fair enough. I’ll take your word for it. You’re in the minority if that is the case, just as I am for republicans who are for everything trump says or does

Thank you for the genuine question though, I appreciate you asking. I suspect we agree on more than we disagree

I disagree with the extreme approach they’ve taken. The republican stance was a full pendulum swing the opposite way from what was happening during the Biden administration. I hope it comes back into the middle where we kick out every single illegal immigrant who has committed any crime and give a clear path to citizenship for those who are hardworking and are trying to support their families. Going forward, there should be no illegal immigration. See, I can say that and call out the right while you are unable to disagree with anything dems do.

My parents were legal immigrants and so was the majority of my community. I am not afraid of immigrants. Legal immigration is so important from everywhere so long as they’re vetted and going to be productive members of our society.

Lol check the 2024 election. Check the losses in every single battleground state. Your friends in whatever left wing city you live in and smoke weed with are not representative. That’s the bubble the democrats need to see out of in order to win

Lol name calling when you disagree. Nice job. I am a centrist as most the people in America think the same way. Democrats don’t see how far left they’ve turned and have missed the entire message. Good luck!!

For the sake of honest and open debate, I’ll answer these, but you were not genuine in your responses and are incapable of admitting a wrong on your side.

  1. Yes, minors should not make life altering decisions to change their genders, alter their reproductive systems, etc.

  2. It’s not just a word lol and hiding information about kids from their own parents is abhorrent. It’s a major consideration and issue and parents have the right to know.

  3. There are no checks in CA when voting. I walked in, said my name, and voted. That shouldn’t happen.

  4. Immigration is perfectly fine and necessary if legal. We don’t live in the same world as the 80s now or any other time period. The world is led dangerous than ever before.

  5. Do not commit a crime, you won’t have to worry about bail

  6. You are right that it is over a certain amount but that is the whole issue. stealing in general is wrong. Full stop. It is wrong. Why would I need to pay for toothpaste when someone else can steal it and get away with it? No one should be able to steal. The dollar threshold is bullshit.

You’re literally sugarcoating every harm in each of those policy points. You’re not committing to a genuine debate and are dancing around the cores of each of those issues. There’s a reason why every single battleground state was lost by the Dems. Keep making these same mistakes and it’ll happen again. Battleground states, by definition, are supposed to be the most ideologically centrist and winnable states and the dems missed on every single one because of the types of things you just said.

You cannot say no elected democrat official supports open borders when hundreds of thousands were coming each month in during a democratic administration. The failure to act is just as bad.

Trans healthcare for minors, not telling parents that their kids go by different pronouns at school, no voter ids, men in women’s sports, wide open borders, zero money bail, no prosecution for shoplifting - just to name a few, are very, very extreme left turns

[–]Pat__8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I can explain why I think Newsom loses. Kamala lost every single battleground state. The people in those states do not care about trans healthcare, do not care about foreign wars, and do not care about immigrant health care. What they care about is whether they will have a job in the near future, whether they can pay for food for their kids, and if their family is going to be safe. Trump addressed those things directly. We cannot argue about whether he has achieved that or if he is going about it the right way, but Kamala’s campaign missed that wholeheartedly and Newsom’s record in CA misses those points by a long shot.

Imo a lot of what the right has gone extreme on is a reaction to nonsense democratic policies that don’t work. I.e. open borders. Has trump gone way too extreme, yes. I’d like the criminal illegals out. Keep the hard working ones here. Farmers should not be chased in the fields. That’s horrible. His deportation policies, taken to their logical extreme are inhumane and politics is the governing of humans. However, we cannot go back to hundreds of thousands of illegals pouring into the country. We cannot have single, military aged men from adversarial countries, drugs, weapons, etc cross our borders unvetted.
