I’m asked about this a lot on this site lol

I agree that the government should reign in its spending - although I disagree with the typical conservative in where and how. For example, I believe that NASA should move exclusively to fixed prices contracts. In fact, it has worked well enough that I believe the military should work that way too

I believe that typical liberals jump too quickly at new technology. For example, I think democrats are really putting the cart before the horse with electric cars. I believe that we should mandate electrical charging infrastructure to match or exceed ICE “charging” stations BEFORE electric cars are mandated. I also believe that there may be a better technology and/or method than semi-permanently mounted high voltage car batteries. In fact, eliminating cars in general may be the best method after all.

I am against bicycle infrastructure over car infrastructure. I think bicycle infrastructure is worse for the majority, especially in area with colder winters. I believe a subway system is the way to go. I also believe that it’s not okay to start deteriorating car infrastructure before an alternative is in place.

I believe (generally) I’m a capitalist society. I believe that, if regulated to INCREASE (or preserve) competition, that the problem will take care of itself. I don’t believe in too big to fail (sorry Boeing, sorry car companies, sorry banks)

I believe that we need to clamp down on illegal immigration but that we should increase the number of people so that we can properly vet more people for LEGAL immigration

I believe I should be able to own any gun I want so long as I am able to pass a stringent background check. More controversial is that I believe that every gun owner should be in a federal database and that if you are ever caught doing anything unsafe with firearms, you will never be able to pass the background check again.

I am extremely anti-marijuana. I am open to research, but I believe it should be illegal until it is proven to be safe

I believe that we should be able to disagree and that the whole “team” aspect of politics is stupid. We should be able to vote on someone based on their platform and NOT their party (im looking at you, Texas. I’m also looking at you, vote blue no matter who). I think political parties are stupid.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
