Do we think white nationalists even deserve rights?

These are the people we should be deporting!
Should government extend beyond the basic duties outlined here by Friedman?

If not, how do we argue against a program like DOGE?

I hate Trump, but I continue to struggle with the size of government which, up until now, neither party has addressed in any meaningful way for 25+ years.

I completely agree.

This is why Bluesky needs to take active measures to remove right-wing trolls. Believe me, they are going to flock here too so they can continue to harass us.

Kick them off. We came here to avoid that bullshit and preserve conversations that promote democracy!
The thing about Twitter versus Bluesky is that the right needs liberals on Twitter to make it feel worthwhile, whereas the left doesn’t need conservatives on Bluesky to make it feel worthwhile.

Can someone help me understand the Democrats point of view on the federal deficit?

As much as I hate Trump, I do have fears over the debt crisis.

How can we maintain critical programs and avoid cuts but still balance the budget?

Thanks in advance!

We can live without Twitter but Twitter cannot live without us. It’s as simple as that.

Just imagine going back in time two weeks and credibly telling people who Trump was going to nominate if he won. You might shave 10,000 votes off his national total!

Bluesky friends! I’m so excited to be here!

Once upon a time I was (embarrassingly) a Trump voter. No more!

I will no longer support a man that encourages hate and ignores the members of our society most in need of our help.

I’m here to learn!
