I think this is kind of an unfortunate framing that has caught on in the current day. It's not enough to agree on the problem, you also have to agree on the solution.

Most people agree there are elites running the country for their own benefit. That doesn't mean you ally with the ones who think it's the Jews and want to do an ethnic cleansing.

We aren't on the same team if your solution to the health care problem is deregulation and free markets

The solution is easy though

Get rid of lobbyists , corporate and foreign
No stock trading/picking for elected officials, indices only

The reality is the main foreign lobbyist is the Israeli lobby. It doesn’t matter their religion or race, that happens to be the country our elected officials have to answer to. That is a problem.

The only solution to healthcare is nationalized healthcare lol. Everyone should know this by now. Base tier that every citizen gets, and if you have affluence then purchase additional coverage from xyz private party. However as a modern day doctor you are beholden to an organization because it is not financially possible to open up private practice - you will get bullied out of insurance contracts. You can have a free market of provider availability (not possible currently) ironically if you have a form of nationalized insurance. You are talking to someone who thinks if your country can pay for their citizens healthcare , then they should. I am in the it’s a right not a privilege camp. A decade ago we were talking about how the number one reason a middle class person goes bankrupt is related to healthcare. Nothing has changed. And the dems sabotaged the guy who was gonna give it to us

Wait, you're mistaking being able to handle Iran with what he's saying.

Iran is absolutely no match for the U.S. like...this isn't the even remotely the same weight class. Their military capability is completely wrecked and the U.S..barely even tried lmao. We could take that country over, but there would be casualties, and the pink hair snowflakes would cry about it. Rinse and repeat.

"That dude that resigned" isn't a compelling argument.

The U.S. runs the world. Without em, most NATO countries are speaking Chinese or Russian. Their military capability is a joke. Bunch of countries looking for daddies protection is all it is. It's like the college bro talking about big because daddy has money. Yes, the U.S. benefits from them but ultimately only one country keeps NATO safe.

This is blatant copium at the literal highest definition level.

The U.S. does not control the world.

We are already finding that out with how other nations are backdooring the US. Only a complete uneducated simp would think any different.

Edit - How is Iraq and Afghanistan? Oh wait...

How is the Strait?
How many times has Trump begged for help?
How are those gas prices?

Doge failed because ultimately there is no will Washington on either side to make significant cuts. It’s political seppuku so self interested politicians on both sides just go with the grift flow. Musk thought he can do to Washington what he did to Twitter only to realize the swamp is largely happy with the status quo. Even got a black eye for it lol.

U.S. runs the world.

Feels good.


And oh no, what is U.S. death toll at? 12? 13? Iran has lost thousands. Barely even flexing on em too. Imagine if the U.S. actually went hard. Nobody does military better, fun game though.

musk accomplished exactly what he wanted man. Data and investigations on predatory spacex practices washed, while he scams a spacex ipo this year. There was never a will to stop unnecessary spending, it was always a farce. Twitter is currently a cesspool of bots lol. The bot problem that was hyped with the valuation fiasco has gotten magnitudes worse.

doge was actually about AI getting access to the American people's data.
Medical, social security, taxes, etc etc

Now all the young people who were tasked to do that data aggregation are being Depositioned.

People's personal data was being sent in clear text spreedsheets over signal.

Agree too , it wasn’t just one incentive

It was just never about decreased spending

Yeah I know you're painfully gullible. I didn't need you to confirm
