You still have to be registered to vote, which requires either DL # or SSN.

Photo ID to vote is a form a voter suppression because 1. It is not free. 2. It takes time, sometimes a lengthy amount of time, to get a photo ID. Give everyone a mandatory, free, photo ID when they turn 16 or 18 and then it will be fine.

How much time or money does it take to learn 4 digits of your social security number? You keep ignoring that aspect.

As far as a drivers license, that’s the problem. That’s why we have numerous noncitizens on voting rolls

Here’s a great idea. If you can’t afford it don’t do it. If you can’t afford tuition do something else. Anything you want the government to solve is only going to make it way worse. Pretty much anyone can find a job that offers at least decent health coverage. Hell parents can carry kids until they’re 26! That’s pretty ridiculous in itself.

We’re already facing a healthcare worker shortage, at every level and will continue to, specially as the population continues to age.

If only those that can afford it do it, that will make things worse very quickly.

If the Democrats proposed a border bill that perfectly fit your wants but had sweeping gun control laws at the federal level would you support it? That’s basically the same as your question.

No it is not basically the same. Far from it. Gun rights are in the Constitution, abortion is not.

There you go. Go to community college for nursing. The sky might be falling but for none of the things you’re crying about.

Doesn’t change the fact that America is still very center right.

My political views are basically:

Access to healthcare regardless of where your geographical location is in America.

Universal Healthcare/reformed healthcare.
But that is complicated between insurances and hospitals. But every other 1st world country has it figured out so we ought to be to as well.

Free or reformed higher education. Tuition cost is 100% out of control. I like what Tennessee has done with its free community colleges but that should be expanded. I’d really like to see free education for healthcare workers, Drs, nurses etc, as well as teachers and other public servants. Cops should be paid more but need better training as well. But the justice system as a whole needs work.

Weed should be legal.

Get big money out of politics as well as place restrictions on politicians trading stocks.

I actually do support better border security as well. Would like to see less spending on the military and military/financial aid to other countries. But I’m okay with helping out our allies when they’re in need.

Those are my biggest things off the top of my head.

Too many free items and I do not want to pay for them.

That’s actually a very viable option. But we’re going to need more mid level healthcare and drs too. Getting to that level can be very cost prohibitive.

Go read your post dude. You are like most liberals, you don't even know what your saying. You stated in your post that corporate tax increases don't add to inflation.

You're so stupid you can't keep straight whether I'm in support of corporate tax rates increases (which I'm not but you foolishly believe i said I was) or whether I believe they don't significantly add to inflation (which i did say). But here's a shocker..... those aren't the same thing. Pay better attention.

Lol. We’ll be ok. Do you think more people would want to enter the medical field when you add even more government bureaucracy? All you’re going to get is the worst possible care from morons.

If that’s your take away….

Well it's what happened. You came in with "GOP doesn't care about border bc they didn't support the bill." Perhaps you should have started with "I disagree with the GOP, not signing off on the last bill that contained multiple steps forward, addressing the border crisis. I know it contained financial support for Ukraine, and many in the GOP are against that, but the border is a bigger crisis."

Now many would have disagreed. Many would have pointed out their issues with your take. However, you wouldn't have come off as an uniformed, partisan hack, who only knows the talking points prescribed to him. And the best part is that it would have created discussion.

Are you aware of what the Supreme Court is supposed to do? Of course not. lol

You mean the Supreme Court members that before appointed said they wouldn’t overturn Roe v Wade?

I’m also surprised so many Republicans supporting restricting healthcare. Shouldn’t the federal government stay out of healthcare according to y’all?
