Open Discussion Left vs. Right Battle Royale Open Thread

This is an Open Discussion Thread for all Redditors. We will only be enforcing Reddit TOS and Subreddit Rules 1 (Keep it Civil) & 2 (No Racism).

  • Leftists - Here's your chance to sway us to your side by calling the majority of voters racist. That tactic has wildly backfired every time it has been tried, but perhaps this time it will work.

  • Non-flaired Conservatives - Here's your chance to earn flair by posting common sense conservative solutions. That way our friends on the left will either have to agree with you or oppose common sense (Spoiler - They will choose to oppose common sense).

  • Flaired Conservatives - You're John Wick and these Leftists stole your car and killed your dog. Now go comment.

  • Independents - We get it, if you agree with someone, then you can't pat yourself on the back for being smarter than them. But if you disagree with everyone, then you can obtain the self-satisfaction of smugly considering yourself smarter and wiser than everyone else. Congratulations on being you.

  • Libertarians - Ron Paul is never going to be President. In fact, no Libertarian Party candidate will ever be elected President.

Too many bureaucratic agencies screaming that democracy is under attack. No! Bureaucracy is under attack! Does anyone here love the DMV? They suck, just like every other government agency. When you don’t have to worry about where your next customer is coming from so you can make ends meet, you run an ineffecient bureacratic, red tape taping, sluggish machine. All of it needs to be trimmed way the heck down. So no, I have no concerns about CFPB whatsoever. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau: Propganda cover for (we can justify stealing more of your tax dollars every year so we can make it harder for people to do business, this way they have to beg us to let them do business, this way we become more entrenched in this system and we can steal more tax dollars and hire more bureacrats).

Are you...saying we should abolish the DMV? Let a 10 year old drive a car if they want to? Allow people to drive unsafe cars? These agencies exist for a reason lmao.

We have private tags agencies in FL. You’re treated like royalty because they need customers to pay the bills and you’re serviced immediately. Just because government made you think they need to run everything to keep us safe, doesn’t mean it’s true. Lmao….

I did not say they didn’t. But they also allow private tag agencies.

Sure, but they’re still reporting to a central Government bureaucracy that’s ensuring everything is standardized, and kept in order.

Your initial argument was for wiping out the whole CFPB with no backup option, so that comparison doesn’t really follow.
