  • Not a Republican, but there is a lot of nuance.

    He can sell groceries at a loss because the money comes from other places…all of which is eventually paid for in taxes (in this case there is probably a small resitribution from rich to poor which I am happy with).

    I don’t mind Democrats getting caught helping their constituents. But let’s not pretend he found some cheap grocery loophole; grocery store are already incredibly efficient, they only make ~3% profit. I am just speculating that the logistics needed to spin up govt groceries is much larger than the existing ~3% markup from the private sector.

    In defense of small changes, the 2nd term Trump administration is a great example for why it should be difficult to make big changes. Even with the decent guardrail, he is able to completely destroy congressional mandated agencies, implement random tariffs (tariffs are back BTW), use DoJ as personal revenge agency. There should be a small appreciation of what we have today when compared to the last three thousand years of history. Things really can get a lot worse and very quickly.

    Do I want Medicaid for all/single payer, yes.

    Would I settle for Medicaid for those who want it, definitely.





  • Sorry this doesn’t fit your narrative that you are the hero telling people to believe obvious lies. The news article was regarding how Ukraine punished a contractor who stores military weapons near civilians as that is against international law. A commenter compared that to Hamas which seemed pretty relevant since those are the two majors wars occurring at the moment.

    Also look at how you can’t face the fact you are telling people to censer themselves, so you pivot.



  • This is a perfect example of the emerging MAGA left; when someone tells you to not trust your lying eyes because of might go against “the narrative”. Trump did that for year with his base, and this is the exact same thing. Your words: “It doesn’t matter if the tunnels exists or not” i.e. truth no longer matters, just shut up when we tell you obvious lies. You might hate the war hate the occupation, hate the settlers, but that is not enough, you have to accept every lie we tell you.

    No I don’t, if you want to ban me and create an echo chamber, go ahead.
