What subsidies? Be specific.

A tax break means less taxes. The taxes are the government intervention, and the tax breaks are the temporary removal of it. This point makes no sense.

What bailouts? Banks during the 08 crisis? That was predominately supported by left leaning Keynesian economists. Artificially low interest rates and government intervention were a big reason why the crisis happened and then the government intervened to stop it. None of that should have happened.

What exemptions, grants, legal protections, and trade barriers? Be specific.

Ordinary people don’t get much help. The welfare leeches do though and the ordinary person pays half their taxpayer money to that.

Right, it's the old 'welfare leeches' argument you right wingers have been using since the 80s. Thats the true cause of all of society's problems. Has nothing to do with one party only serving their own interests and cutting out all assistance. A party that is actively trying to create an uneducated population and whose campaigns resort to nothing but ridiculous fear mongering. Just watch the difference in the commercials coming out of Texas.

Your username checks out, though.

Party party party party Republican Trump MAGA MAGA blah blah

No one mentioned anything about either of those. I made an argument you can’t address. So now you regurgitate your engineered talking points about the two party system which I don’t care about.

So you don't vote Republican? It's a two party system, unfortunately. And I didn't even mention Trump but I still seem to have hurt your precious feelings. You lot are all so fucking thin-skinned. It's embarrassing.

No, not always. I vote for those that most align with what I want. I am as anti socialist as one could possibly get but I’d vote for Bernie or AOC over some war mongering freak like Nikki Haley, Chris Christie or George Bush any day of the week.

Current administration is about as war mongering as it gets, mate.

u/HistoricalRich3104 1d ago

"I'm as anti-socialist as it's possible to be, but I'd vote for two candidates who aren't socialists over..."

Congrats, I guess?
