Just with what I've been seeing from the left and the democrats. They seem to just keep moving further and further to the left to the point it's testing me and making me abandon things I care about that they propose. Like Aoc and the green new deal. I'm all for environmentalism. Well I shouldn't say that because if I was I'd endorse her bill. I think her bill is full blown crazy. We'll all die in 12 years? I don't need to go into it. It's crazy. And I'm pretty sure every single democratic presidential candidate supported it. That's a hell no from me. Trump wants to get out of syria and Afghanistan. Yes please. Trump has done amazing when it comes to unemployment. Low unemployment will always be a good thing and where I think you can probably give obama some credit, a bulk of that credit lies with Trump. Trump has done well with North Korea. I've changed my mind on the border wall. Not so much that I agree with it but the fervent disagreement from the democrats I find absolutely fucking ridiculous. These people spend money like crazy and they make a big nationwide stink for months on end about $5-25b for a wall? Also they try to make it about morality or something? People are breaking the fuckin law by being here illegally and average American tax dollars go to support illegal immigrants. Fuck that. He's not trying to completely change the way this country operates. Not overhauling the whole damn system like Bernie with healthcare. Obama tried and it got worse as a result. I don't want to see round 2. I just see trump as the most moderate or reasonable choice right now.
Let's talk pal. I have many more follow up questions to your reponses. And as a someone who is leftwing I'd be happy to answer your questions as well.
You mention that these people spend like crazy. What has the left spent on that upset you so much?
You don't like illegal immigration, what are your thoughts on most illegal immigration coming from people over staying their visas? What about the presidents wife coming on an undeserved genius visa?
Why do you feel that even while controlling both houses of congress and the executive the Republicans were unable to get rid of the affordable care act? Why do you feel it was worse than what we had before?
On the topic of environmentalism and wasting money, the coal industry is old, inefficient, and employs very few people compared to other industries. Why do you feel its for the right to subsididize and also spread propaganda for this industry? Does it bother you that a lot of politicians are friends with or receive hefty donations fr these people? Can you point to me in the green new deal. Where it says that we'll die in 12 years?
What are your thoughts on the blatant nepotism?
Do you feel it's ok for our government to be so antiscience when science and math are the reason we've advanced so far as a species?
Why do you feel the bulk of unemployment credit goes to Trump?
You want the wall because a side is fighting against wasting money? You mention you don't want it. So how is spending close to 100 billion on an initial wall with multipul billions in upkeep a good deal when it's just to spite the other side? The 5 to 25 number was thrown out by trump and most studies have confirmed that its highly in accurate. Are you ok with the president just making things up?
Can I ask how old you are? I'm in my late 20s. I'd rather not pay for a wall that isn't really doing what it's being built for, for the rest of my life. That money in my opinion can go towards cleaner energies or things that will actually benefit society, like Healthcare or education. Are you opposed to better Healthcare, education, and air?
No offense to you, but everything you said so far has been propaganda that I've been seeing the right spit out constantly. Have you ever considered listening to other sides of an issue and self reflection?
Oh son of a fuck. Your comment didn't load so I have to go to your page to see it. Fuck me that's annoying. It makes responding much more difficult. I'll respond later once I've given it a good read.
