I don't know too much about Newsom, he has some pretty far left views I'm not a fan of, but also has done some things notably good.

I'm pretty excited for this, I lean conservative, so I want to see DeSantis debate against someone fairly competent, and I'd like to see more of Newsom, as he's being talked about being a potential presidential runner in 2028.

Overall, I really want to see more governors come together and debate problems and solutions in their states, that's the beautiful thing about America. We have 50 states that can tackle issues differently as their population sees fit, the point is to try out solutions and hopefully use other states policies to improve your state or see that it doesn't work.

You let the

I didn't do shit, man.

here needs to be consequences for that type of predatory lending

Sure, maybe. How does paying off $1.6T in student loans, a hand out to the highest earners of our generation, fix the 'predatory lending'? It doesn't. It encourages it. It tells banks "keep doing your sketchy shit, if it gets too much for the country, the government will just pay it all back to you!'

small fines being dished out in comparison making people like you think 1.6T is so massive we cant do shit.

People like me? Once again - tell me how giving $1.6T to the most educated, highest earning highest educated portion of our generation is going to fix predatory school loans. If you don't even attempt to answer that in your next comment, I don't care to respond. All you're trying to do is trash me, when I agree with you - predatory school loans are an issue. Instead of trying to fix the issue, you want a handout to help yourself, and let the next generation of students get dicked. That's not a solution, that's kicking the can down the road.

a for-profit organization

Although I'm iffy on the FR in general, it is part of the government. I'm not sure where you're getting that it's for profit?

have printed and injected about 17T into the banks for relief sense 2017

In relief? You mean printed that much money to hand out in loans? I just think fundamentally you don't understand how the FR interacts with banks.

someone to be able to donate time and money to charities or other similar types of organizations in their community.

Please provide evidence of student loan relief leading towards increased monetary donations and time donations.

. Your answer of just ignoring

Where did I say this was my answer? I just noted that what you and your buddies think is a 'glaringly obvious' solution - isn't a solution at all.

Once again, I don't care to respond unless you answer one simple question: if the solution is so glaringly obvious, how does paying the loans of the highest education, highest earning and most capable portion of our population fix the predatory nature of student loans, the high interest rates and increasing cost of tuition?

I agree, the interest rates are crazy, and people should be informed about it, but you're just saying what the problem is. Not how to fix it.

What you claim is a 'glaringly obvious' solution to this doesn't solve what you're talking about. It doesn't solve the predatory nature of loans, or the government pushing of student loans either, which increases tuition costs. Your solution does nothing except give middle/upper-middle educated people $1.6T

So, good, we agree on one of the problems, tell me how your 'glaringly obvious' solution of student loan forgiveness solves that problem.

Who's forcing women to get pregnant?

Edit: I'm genuinely confused, was the original comment just a typo that I'm not understanding?

If a state makes abortion restrictions, the least they can do is give the patient resources to go somewhere where it's legal, and have absolutely 0 laws that restrict them from going to another state to get an abortion.

How is it the banks faults?

but the glaringly obvious solution of forgiving that debt

Just because that's what you want doesn't make it 'glaringly obvious.'

Those with student loan debt are middle or middle upper class white folk. The cost of forgiving student debt would be 1.6T

Are you going to go into your city and yell out 'we need to give $1.6T to middle and upper class, university educated people, and we need to do it NOW!'? How is that a 'glaringly obvious' solution?

How does this remove the core issues of the student debt crisis: that it doesn't reduce the cost of college, and may even increase it due to moral hazard? How is student debt forgiveness 'glaringly obvious' when it doesn't address that at all?

How does it reduce the amount that future students are going to take out to get an education? How is student debt forgiveness a 'glaringly obvious' solution to this?

Just because you and likely your ~30 YO educated peers have an issue doesn't mean the whole nation just needs to write a blank check when the demographic you're talking about giving $1.6T to are the highest earners in your generation?

It's not that the solution is 'glaringly obvious' - and everyone who doesn't support it are just stuck in the far right, it's because there are legitimate problems with your 'glaringly obvious' solution.

who is 'they' and how are they attacking trans folks?

It essentially seems like the LGBTQIA2S+ has turned to a religion. So yeah, the flag is equivalent to a religious symbol.

I mean not really. We just don't care for public services and funding that is supposed to teach our kids math, instead teach them how to socially transition.

If you want to transition back and forth 100 times, we're fine with that. Don't take our money and teach our kids how to transition then act like you're 'being attacked'

You’ve never met anyone from Western Europe,

Yes I have, many.

nor know what they think

I mean, I sourced the NHS. I'm not interviewing citizens in western europe, but I also never claimed to have.

It’s a blob of cells not a baby.

I disagree.

I guess if I thought souls were real I could see where you’re coming from.

I don't see it as a 'soul' - just a human life that deserves some sort of right to life.

And there are lines of people to adopt healthy Caucasian babies, sure but in reality many kids spend life in the system.

Do you have data that shows that caucasian babies are being adopted but brown babies aren't?

Tax payers and their representatives can choose how their money is spent, yes.

Nope, I fight for kids that aren’t ready to be a parent

Plenty of people are waiting to adopt a baby, the 'kids' (who are often mid 20's-mid 30's) who don't want to have the responsibility of raising the child they chose to bring into the world, don't need to. There are lines of people wanting to adopt.

kids that do not want to deliver their abusers children

Can you expand on this?

Being pro-life is defending a possibility over an actual sentient person.

Defending the rights of a baby that can't fight for themselves*

We are defined by fighting for those who aren't strong enough to fight for themselves.

You didn't explain anything. You just keep saying no. You sound like a politician. Just keep saying no and eventually the smarter person gives up on trying to convince you, and you think you won.

Have a good day.

It is.

If you want to get paid $20, find someone to pay you $20/hour

If you have no argument against my statements, you admit you have inconsistent reasoning, and that makes it unconvincing.

You have absolutely no argument at all. Just because you say 'no' doesn't make it wrong.

The military not flying the pride flag isn't an attack.

The government should fly the american flag, and maybe their state flags. They shouldn't be waving some government endorsed religious symbols. If the pride flag can be waved, what's to stop MAGA flags from being waved at the white house and in military bases?

Under the amendments, the military will no longer pay for gender-affirming medical care for transgender troops, allow the pride flag to fly at military installations, or pay for personnel to travel for abortions if they live in a state that restricts them. None of these social issues have anything to do with Defense spending

Although I hate these alt-right house members, I'm confused at this statement.

They claim that the right is amending the bill so the military will no longer provide funding for the stated procedures and disallowing the pride flag, but then they say none of these issues have anything to do with defense spending. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but it seems if the military is providing those things, it would come out of their budget?
