@rocksdxebec3406 Americans are not willing to do low-wage jobs because illegals take them all and depress wages to the point that an American would starve with that kind of paycheck. Illegals actively make it impossible to work those kinds of jobs; and Americans are among the hardest workers on the entire planet according to labor studies -so cut the BS.

@pacoimeroxvida4404 Why do you even think I vote Republican? Heck, what are you blaming them for? I geniunely don't know.

@joshuaoverlord5327 Biden didn't stop any border wall construction. There really wasn't any at the time. Also, while I disagree with stopping the Keystone pipeline, you're seriously overexaggerating the economic cost.

@joshuaoverlord5327 Inflation went up, not gas price specifically I think. And Biden didn't "allow" anything, sanctioning Germany heavily to stop the pipeline is not worth it. They were adamant. What, would you like to blow it up instead?

@joshuaoverlord5327 The issue was never about Germany becoming reliant on oil for Russia. The issue was that Germany had more of a reason to ignore Russian incursions into Eastern Europe, which is a valid concern; but yes, the US can only go so far to twist Germany's arm. They're ultimately allies, in the end. Even if they're shoddy ones.

@joshuaoverlord5327 Inflation occurs naturally over time, that being said the Covid relief was necessary for the US economy; both Biden and Trump did it. Don't turn that into a political issue, too many issuse that both sides should agree upon are made into political issues. Idk anything about a Subway, but if it helped the local economy then that's fine. And economic aid overseas has and will continue to be a thing in US politics; if nothing else it gives the US a way from external rivals from claiming the US does nothing but act cruel overseas. I don't agree with everything Biden does, but some of the things you're criticizing him for in this case doesn't seem fair to me.

@joshuaoverlord5327 Idk what you're talking about the Subway thing. Cite it plz? Nor do I know anything abiut "fleeing Texas". How does that work, and what is bad about it? Again, I have grievances, but these seem silly

@joshuaoverlord5327 Interesting. Seems childish, but idk the specifics of the Texas voting bill. Hard to with people proclaiming jt as just voter ID and othets voter suppression. I like the idea of IDs for voters, but Georgia really was using it for suppression after reading about it. Maybe Texas is different? Still, that's an overall separate issue to what we were talking about. Beef with individual actions from the Democrats is fine, but don't change it into bigotry where you judge people juat for being Dems.

@joshuaoverlord5327 Yeah, that is scummy. That is a common issue with these bills, where people tack on things and then when someone notices it and protests its framed as being against the bill its named after. Like if I made a bill called "Helping children" bill but then tack on 80% of it to making a Chucky Cheese next to my home, and ehen anyone protests I proclaim that they're against helping children. That's definitely not a Dem only thing. It's a flaw in our democracy that Congressmen commonly abuse.
