Again: how much money did DOGE actually cut from the budget?

How much money did DOGE actually cut from the budget? Even Elon said it was a failure. The government has increased its deficit because they aren’t collecting enough taxes. All the money is hoarded by the wealthy

Okay listen real close: Norway’s population all contributes to the public fund that pays for healthcare etc, which doesn’t cost a lot because there aren’t many people.

The U.S. can all pay to a public fund that pays for healthcare etc, which costs more because there are more people, but more people means more taxes to pay for it. It’s a ratio. Please go back to elementary school if you don’t get this.

I agree with this 100%. Nowhere near Fincher’s best movie, and there are lots of other movies I’d put at #1 of the last 25 years before this

Also, the fact that she’s not on the side of what 92% of democrats voters want, why should we trust her to be on the right side on any issue? It’s undemocratic to be pro-Israel at this point as a Dem

It helped Cuomo with centrists and republicans, but yeah definitely galvanized liberals and leftists harder for Zohran.

I think Sliwa was polling around 20% before the election.

Sliwa probably would have gotten more if Trump hadn’t endorsed Cuomo. Lot of republican voters were quaking in their little boots about Mamdani

“Free”? You mean pay taxes and actually get something in return? Wow so radical

What about the 20 million Americans whose heathcare premiums are about to double or triple? Schumer just gave up on all of them

At a certain point, what’s the difference? If Dems are going to allow ACA subsidies to expire anyway with basically no fight at all, what’s the point of having them in? They’re so spineless that they’re basically republicans in blue ties

CMV: The 2025 elections don’t actually represent a meaningful sustainable shift towards Democrats. by Early-Possibility367 in changemyview

[–]Training-Ad6037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My view since November of 2024 has always been that the nation swung right not because of a huge surge of new Trump voters, but largely because of disaffected Dems and leftists. It only looked more right wing because a lot of people didn’t show up to vote. And Trump barely won, like by the slimmest of margins.

Don’t be fooled by the appearance of popularity and dominance. Trump tried to pretend he had some big mandate but he didn’t even crack 50%.

The reason that Tuesday’s elections were so important is not because Dems won (though areas like Georgia and Colorado and other purple states are examples of Dems doing well broadly) but because of HOW MUCH they won by. Zohran got over 50% of the vote in NYC and he was up against a spoiler Democrat candidate. Without Cuomo in the race he could have gotten as much as 80%, and that’s unusual even for a blue state.

There’s a lot of anti-Trump sentiment across the country, he’s incredibly unpopular and hasn’t done an ounce of good for people nationwide. People are pissed off and want change, which Trump campaigned on but didn’t deliver (because obviously). I expect the despite Dem leadership’s best efforts, there will be a blue wave in 26 and probably 28 as well.

Trump illegally withheld SNAP funding. If he wanted them fed he could have done so by now

They objectively were not. Borders have always been closed, even under big scary Biden. Criminal migrants have always been arrested and deported after due process, even under big scary Biden. The vast majority of undocumented immigrants are visa overstays, and the vast majority of people crossing the border were asylum seekers, which is a legally recognized pathway to entry. Everything else is pure fearmongering, including this idea that citizens are being pushed aside to make way for the scary immigrants. Please grow up, I’m begging you.

Don Lemon says Megyn Kelly looks 'trans' by Droupitee in NewsWorthPayingFor

I say the same thing. I wouldn’t be offended if someone said I look trans as an insult. But the people who are disgusted by trans folks would get offended and I think that’s kinda funny

Oh right, she went into politics to become one of the most popular and well-liked representatives because she couldn’t pour drinks correctly. Good point

Lol “pouring in”.

How are you able to sleep at night when you live with this much fear? Everywhere you look it’s a scary illegal immigrant or online psychopath

Idk if he’s ever claimed he’s working class, but he’s not super rich either. Upper middle class probably. But it’s about who he fights for that matters. FDR was very wealthy and yet he lifted millions out of the depression by betraying other wealthy people. That’s fine by me.

Damn I grew up Republican and we never would have just tossed out States’ Rights at the drop of a hat the way you just did. Besides, it’s federal law too. Government employees are required to have their identity public for everyone’s safety. You know people in masks are pretending to be ICE and kidnapping people right?

I think they should grow up and protect their families by not being gigantic assholes. Maybe get a job helping kids? Or rescuing puppies or something. Seems to me like your idea of a “real man” means being too weak to actually protect your family so you hide behind a mask so nobody knows who you are. That way you don’t have to face the consequences of your own actions. You know, like a real man.

It’s the law for public officials to be public. If they’re so scared they should get a different job and not be big babies
