    the left overwhelmingly wants the government to take more of my money

    This is a sweeping generalization. The way to move forward on budget is to stop wasting so much money on corporate bailouts, the military, and to actually fix our shit show of a tax system so that the rich pay their fair share. If we did so, we would have more than enough money to fund the social programs the left wants while decreasing taxes/heathcare costs.

    take more control over private enterprise.

    Corporations have proven themselves unable to self regulate. They poison our land, water, and sky. They pay poverty wages. They pay executives hundreds of times as much as average workers. They hoard their stolen wealth in tax free, offshore accounts. They price gouge and monopolize. They lay off workers without a second thought. They intentionally make commodities and basic necessities scarce to drive up prices. And they do this all while bribing politicians to keep things this way.

    So damn right they need to be controlled better. They can’t be trusted to be ethical or sustainable, so they must be regulated.

    Old/retired is social security/401k/pension.

    Not everybody has payed enough into social security to get any use out of it, and not everybody has a 401k/pension. And that especially goes for pensions.

    Chronically ill is social security.

    Unless I’m missing something, people who are chronically ill are typically on medicaid, not social security. But my question was really about the “heal to a point where they can get off social programs part”.

    There are many people who will never, for the rest of their life, or for a very long part of their life have no ability to heal or become able bodied. Are you suggesting they get booted off these programs anyways?

    They changed tune after they say people didn’t want that and crime was increasing. Yet still some are pushing it such as

    Doesn’t matter because most democrats never supported it as you understand it.

    It shows a trillion dollar deficit increase. Thats spending without a plan.

    Which is tame in comparison to how much it grows under republicans. Under democrats the deficit usually goes down, under republicans it usually explodes. That’s because democrats are generally better at economics. Republicans just give tax breaks to the rich and borrow the remainder.

    When trans rights infringe on the rights of women.

    They don’t though.

    Jk Rowling has written some wonderful articles on the topic

    I’m going to continue to avoid her bigoted ass like the plague.

    They want to dismantle the police, spend more without figuring out how to pay for anything. They push misogynistic policies.

    None of that is true.

    The democrats are just a mess.

    They absolutely are, but not for the ressons you’re listing. That’s why I hate voting for them but unfortunately do because there are no better choices thanks to our dumb two party system.

    Companies should not be running the show.

    I agree. And thats why I think giving politicians money in any form should be criminalized, we should switch to STAR voting, elections should be run from shared fund pools, etc.
