Healthcare. Compared to the rest of the World, our Healthcare System is barbaric. It's all about billion dollar pharmaceuticals, as evidenceed by their mundane commercial ads, and millionaire physicians who are more interested their portfolios.


You'd effectively kill the healthcare industry in this country, forcing every employee to take a massive paycut by doing this.

It's a damn if you do, damn if you don't situation. Not sure how you effectively fix this without massive pay cuts to anyone working in healthcare.

believe we need a fast track to citizenship for people that have been here a long time and their kids. That horse is out of the barn and we need to just do it. Provide a grace period to come out and register and after that - anyone that doesn’t will be deported.


We tried this with Reagan once, and it was one of his regrets. It did nothing to dissuade new illegals because it proved to them that you could just wait the government out and eventually get amnesty. “The Gringo will always fold”.

Rewarding crime gets you more crime.

Yes yes I get it. Part of the contingency is a secure border with proof of being here and zero tolerance moving forward.


Which, in reality, if you can fix this would have a secondary impact of drastically reducing the legal immigration processing time most likely. If we would re-direct a lot of our immigration resources away from having to deal with the absurd amount of illegal proceedings, all those resources can go to helping the ones trying to do things right.

Environmental protection to a reasonable degree.

Agree. Without it market dynamics drive bad outcomes.

-Improved infrastructure ie trains/mass transit to relieve urban traffic
-Restrain markets like pharmacies and groceries to prevent large conglomerates from owning entire markets ie Walmart, CVS, Amazon etc via economies of scale and vendor leverage
-Federal oversight of AI to ensure private sector doesn’t create a real end of days scenario in its race to innovate
-Improved monitoring of foods and drugs to improve public health (I guess with MAHA maybe this is now a right wing idea?)
-revitalization of urban centers via federal and state investment (tax advantages, school takeovers, etc) to bring back into use blighted ghettos
-overhaul of student loans and higher education, specifically public universities to make it affordable for middle class attendees again while producing more graduates with tangible skills in the modern workforce

Excess government jobs should go to people with disabilities who are able and want to work. Autistic, veterans, etc…

One for me would be like they do in France, whenever the women protest they have to walk down the street shirtless.

That’s a policy I would like.


From seeing all these blue haired freaks protesting lately there's no way I'd want to see them titties. Which is bad because I've always had a firm belief that once you've seen one set of titties that you pretty much want to see them all

Liberal...zero

Democrat. I do think some environmental policies are somewhat ok. I don't really care about gays getting married (trannies can go get fricked).

Mass transit expansion, though the fact it's considered a liberal policy by some is ridiculous.

I am liberal when it comes to the environment but I do not believe in the climate change narrative that is going on.

If you're basing your interpretation of drug law on individual rights, you need to realize that drug laws are also built around the common good. Stopping people from hurting themselves also hurts the black market, relatives of drug users, and significantly lowers the potential of secondary laws being broken (driving while intoxicated, crimes committed due to alternative states like Meth Psychosis, robberies, etc). People don't like to admit to it, but drug laws do deter use.


Even though I agree with all of this, there is no reason not to leave legal status of all drugs to the states.
