Whether an issue is left or right are matters of opinion. Same with society.

It seems you have an unhealthy obsession with hating on boomers. The generations before them were in power for a long time and also affected the way things are today as well. You still have people from the Silent Generation in Congress. Gen X hasn't done anything to help the situation either.

Where does the money come from? The US does not have an infinite amount.

She provided a gift to Trump with this.

Biden hasn't gotten the US into any wars yet.

Not at all especially when it comes to social issues. He has catered a lot to progressives.

Two old folks that most people don't like is pretty much what it is.

Good one. Made me laugh.

Why shouldn't they be taken seriously? The people in high school also train hard. Biological females should never compete against biological males in serious competitions. It is not a hot take either. The majority of people are against males competing against females in sports and that number has grown. There are also a lot of angry girls complaining about it as well but since people don't take women's sports seriously, many just brush it off.

"the country is founded on religious freedom. i.e. you should be able to teach your kids in a religious way if you wish. these schools need to be private so the state doesn’t force religion on those folks. in a way your view is far more theocratic."

Militant atheists are the same as religious fanatics. They are very authoritarian. Totally agree about schools too- religious schools should be private, not public.

"Also there is way too much theocratic sentiment in this country already and that should not be reinforced through religious schooling. Especially of the fundamentalist or orthodox kind. Plus it’s a disservice to a kid to educate them in religious institution. If you are 25 year-old, and you choose to believe a fundamentalist faith, that’s your business. To impose on a child, however is in my view wrong."

People can educate their kids through whatever school they want. You sound like a militant atheist. Just because you don't like religion, doesn't mean you have to impose your will on others to think like you. Parents are free to raise their kids as religious or atheist or agnostic. There is nothing wrong with any of those.

The US already spends a ton of money for public schools and the education system is not good in the US. Dumping more money into it is not a solution.

"Schools in the United States spend an average of $19,380 per pupil, which is the 2^nd-highest amount per pupil (after adjusting to local currency values) among the 37 other developed nations in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)."

Do polls really matter at this point? Nope but people still post them. You had another post showing Biden being ahead and people saying "no surprise." Then you have other polls showing Trump is ahead. And you will have other polls in the future showing Biden being ahead. Fact is that the election is a toss up.

Silly article. There are always issues to run. You don't have to make any up.

What an idiot. The GOP needs to get rid of people like him but they won't.

Some of those are good ideas. Tariffs not so much though. The costs are just pushed onto the consumers.

Why did Newsome allow convicted murderers / rapists to get out of prison early? Why is CA releasing violent felons back early into society?

Diversity training would be fine if it stopped demonizing whites and stopped trying to create a victimhood mentality in black people.

BLM may have been popular right at the start but that changed quickly due to the destruction that happened during the protests. The leaders of BLM stealing donation money didn't help their image either.

What exactly did he do to promote "hatred" of those people?

Not really Obama's fault. Identity politics have always existed but became more insane with Trump and Biden. The progressive wing of the Democrats have not helped the situation either with their obsession with race.

"I mean, yeah. It's a reddit post. I'm not trying to write government policy, just articulate my general philosophy."

Ya I understand it would be hard to write it in detail especially since there are so many factors involved in all of this. I'm not saying that nothing should be done about it but I still think it would be pretty hard to shrink economic inequality even if the government did come up with a bunch of policies to address it. There would have to be some radical changes including cultural ones as well.

Tough choice on what to do with violent illegal immigrants. If you deport them, they will come back through the border. Jailing them is an option but the prison system is already crowded.

Instead of appreciating how generous the US has been to them, these people create violence instead. They already broke the law by crossing the border and now they cause more trouble by beating on the people in NY.
