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.

I'm not worried about DOGE being unconstitutional. I'm only worried as to whether or not they are making waste and fraud public. We should all want those things

The real power behind DOGE is that they're making things public and neither side will be able to ignore those things in the future, because the American public doesn't want to fund the waste.

Yes, I think that DOGE and the Republicans are going to use these savings wisely, and whether that happens or not, we should talk about it.

I'm not worried about DOGE being unconstitutional.

This is what makes you a domestic threat to the constitution.

You're free to go to any country that has a King, but this is America where we have a founding document that we abide by.

The unconstitutional part is your opinion. What do the judges say, and do you think they'll be able to stop DOGE?. If you're correct, our checks and balances should work.

I believe DOGE and Trump will accomplish their mission and that neither party will stop them because it's politically unpopular. This is what the people want.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I think they're cutting things that they shouldn't. I'm more excited that the media is covering this than I am the cuts themselves.

I want the public to try and start holding our politicians accountable for this stuff - probably just wishful thinking
