This is the thing that blows my mind: leftists want to abolish ICE, give everyone homes and healthcare and education, stop murdering children in other

countries, give you a pension and paid vacations and sick days an parental leave. And you guys treat us like we're the enemy.

Who pays for the homes, time off and health care? Not murdering children in other countries would look better if they were also in favor of killing babies domestically. And getting rid of ICE is a great cry now but everyone who wants abolish it now wanted to expand it's power under the last 2 non Trump presidents. Everything the left or right wants to do is great when they're in power and evil when they are the minority. Maybe if both sides were consistent Every politician would look less crazy. Both sides want their own way as long as it helps them. The best example of this is the senate rule not to hold Supreme Court nomination hearings from a lame duck president. A rule introduced by senator Joe Biden that was used when the Honorable RBG passed away. When that rule stopped the right from getting a justice it was saving America when it was used to stop the left it was the end of the court. So both sides should remember if you make a rule you need to play by that rule.

@marybmom well they could bail them out like they do with rich people

marybmom · 26-30, F

@Ferise1 I thought you want rich people to stop existing

@marybmom where is the contradiction?

marybmom · 26-30, F

@Ferise1 if you want to force the rich to pay for this and want to eliminate the rich that is no a contradiction, that would be killing off the food source. If you somehow manage to end billionaires you would go after millionaires. If you manage to end millionaires all that would be left is thousandaires. And while we thump our chests saying everyone is equal we have to lament at the same time there's no one left to pay for the changes you want. So the question comes down to do we need the evil rich to pay fot justice of help or eliminate the evil rich for the justice of equality? Taking away the money will never eliminate need just really hamper how much help is possible. If you need 1 dollar to help you have to have one person with 1 dollar. You will say you only want to get rid of billionaires but that will only be true until they're gone. Since there will still be inequality you will have to find a new devil to chase. You confuse equality of outcome with equality of opportunity. Everyone can take steps to better their outcomes because of opportunities. The people with great wealth started with the exact same opportunity you did you blame them for doing more with it than you did. Find or invent something that fills a need or a desire like the billionaires have and make your billion. And if you want to buy every person on earth s silver tea set that's your right. I just don't have the right to tell you that you have to. Stop fussing someone has more than you and either go get more yourself or accept you don't have more because you truly don't want more. The opportunity is there.

@marybmom no they print money for the rich to bail them out, never for the poor

marybmom · 26-30, F

@Ferise1 of course excuses

marybmom · 26-30, F

@Ferise1 do they print food stamp cards? That's money to bail out the poor. What about housing vouchers? They are printed too. Both things the rich absolutely cannot get. Seems to bail out the poor.

Ferise1 · 46-50, M

@marybmom not anymore. in 2008 they printed 700,000,000,000 to bail out the banks…. They don’t do that for the poor.

marybmom · 26-30, F

@Ferise1 I know people who got a brand new food stamp card in November of 2025 so not sure what you mean not anymore

marybmom · 26-30, F

@Ferise1 without those bailouts how many of your beloved working poor would have had their mortgage sold and the new interest rate jumps to 28%? How many working poor would have lost auto manufacturing jobs without the bailouts? You might have a point it only helped the rixh, those devils

Ferise1 · 46-50, M

@marybmom recently Trump took away the food stamps of poor people

Ferise1 · 46-50, M

@marybmom they only print money for the rich not the poor. How many times do I have to fucking say it?

marybmom · 26-30, F

@Ferise1 I guess until you believe it
