The PEOPLE are represented by their HOUSE members. That STATE also needs representation of its own as well.

Unpopular Opinion -
Taxes Should Be Raised.
Why -
To reduce the budget deficit. No, we will never cut so much to do it with cuts alone.

Calls for an EXIT STRATEGY in military matters but never a sound with domestic and foreign initiatives

The STATE is the government of each respective state. We have ambassadors & embassies to represent foreign nations, but our own STATES have no formal representation in D.C.

That's not just unpopular, that's retarded.
Our federal gov spends regardless of how much money is raised.
They don't care.

We might be better off with Joe Biden winning the WH again

Why?
I believe the majority of Americans need to feel some pain before they become conscious, politically, of the purpose of the federal Government and how utterly useless they are in bettering the lives of it's citizens.
Argentina elected Javier Millei after suffering through decades of hard times brought on by a ruling political class

This. If taxes are raised and revenue is increase, the Federal Government will simply look at that as more money to spend rather than money to pay down the debt with. The debt will NEVER go down.

Unpopular Opinion: Single payer healthcare would be an improvement for this country.
Why? Right now, those paying for private insurance are paying twice. Paying for themselves and also for the millions of non-payers. Administrative costs would plummet, as all the money spent on negotiating costs with the hundreds (thousands?) of different insurance companies and billing/collecting would go down. Corporations like Pfizer and the big insurers would not have the political power they currently have. And if those who make the laws have the same shite everyone else does, it won’t suck nearly as much as everyone fears it will.

Unpopular opinion: The Pledge of Allegiance is creepy as frick.
Why: First of all, pledging alliance to any government is insane on the face of it. Psychopaths are normally in charge of government. That's not hyperbole either. Second, we were not founded as a "nation". We're supposed to be a federation of states, which leads me to 3; "indivisible" goes against the very founding. We are absolutely SUPPOSED to be "divisible".
There is a reason a dirtbag socialist is the one who wrote the pledge.

That my friend was the purpose of the Senate
Senate = State House
House of Rep = People's House
The 17th amendment screwed it up so that now even the Senate seats are popularity contests.

I don't believe in legislating moral issues such as abortion or gay marriage. We conservatives get upset if certain rights are threatened (gun rights for example) by libs but Christian conservatives don't mind telling non-religious people how they should live their lives.
But I will always vote for the most conservative candidate over a liberal because liberals are a far bigger threat to most of our basic freedoms than Christian conservatives.

Israel are not our friends, and are just as bad as Turkey when you get down to the facts.
Even after their plan, after bulldozing the palastinians was posted, people still sockled the jews nuts on here.
Israel wants to flood America with Palestinians, Their Africans that are out of control, and other Immigrants.
Some friends.
The land of Israel belongs as an everlasting possession to the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This refers specifically to the Jewish people who were scattered to the four corners of the Earth after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD. But, just as God said He would, He gathered them back into their land never to be removed again. The Land that was promised to the Jewish people, which is by the way a lot larger than the Jewish people have ever possessed - then or now - is the only title deed that was decreed in the Bible. The Bible clearly states: "And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.- Zechariah 12:3.
Blinken's going over there telling the Jewish War Cabinet how to run their war against Hamas will come back to bite us big time. The day of the LORD is near for all nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head. - Obadiah 1:15. Ever thought about why reason our nation's borders are being overrun by hordes of immigrants? Read Obadiah above. We have been pushing Israel to be overrun by Palestinians since the Madrid Peace Accords in 1991. That's when things started to go bad for us. The chickens have truly come home to roost.

Unpopular Opinion: I have no interest in giving poor people free stuff.
Why? Most poor people are poor for a reason. Lazy and/or stupid.

I don’t believe everyone should have the right to vote. I believe you should have to pass a civics exam as well as current event exams in order to vote as well as show current proof of employment.
Women should also not be allowed to vote. That is a particularly unpopular to the women I’ve told.

I think there should be no secrets.
We pay for all these government agencies.
US taxpayers, should have the ability to look at any report we want to.

Religious people are, by far, the most dangerous voting demographic.
They’re disconnected from objective reality and have strong positions that can only be explained by indoctrinated delusion.

You shouldn’t get to vote if you don’t pay taxes.
