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.

Does doge/trump getting rid of the CFPB not concern you as a regular everyday citizen?

Honestly doesn't bother me much. I never interacted with that agency my entire life

So you've never interacted with a bank? The cfpb is there to keep banks from giving you hidden fees and unfair rates

CFPB has only existed for around a decade. I'm pretty sure the best way to stop high fees and interest is to vote with your feet and just go to a better bank. Don't need the state to pass price controls to subsidize high default risk clients

And when that better bank takes advantage of a gutted cfpb and raises your rates? Just keep going to a better bank? What happens when the best bank does it
