    there's plenty of credible evidence of election fraud; how widespread it is is another matter.

    I'm not really familiar with Polymarket, but will take a look.

    question for the ladies: do you like word salad?

    We can't tax our way out of this mess. That much should be obvious to anyone with an IQ over 90.

    Reduce spending: Our country has to be more efficient with revenue.
    -The medical cartel must be dismantled. The government can not continue to pay market rates and the only way to get market rates down is to complete dismantle the insurance industry, including removing employer provided options. The consumer needs options and the ability to bid for services instead of leaving the medical cartel to set the price.
    -SS will need to be revamped. Ultimately we may need to end up with a government system that provides the minimum basic needs such as housing, medical and food.

    Increase output: We need to produce more and lower standards of living
    -Remove antiquated and burdensome regulation
    -Solve problems using a long time frame. We must stop trying to solve problems immediately by inefficient spending. A key example is the suggested $25k credit for new home purchases. Completely stupid.
    -Increase subsidies for future markets and technology. As I've stated in the past, we should be spending a lot more on energy expansion & storage, space exploration (not throwing it to useless companies like Boeing) and other potential tech like AI.
    -Americans need to get used to higher cost standards of living. The system needs to reward people who try harder to hold onto their earned resources (such as their paycheck) in lieu of instant services like food delivery. We should encourage people to hold onto quality products instead of spending on cheap disposable products that do nothing but pad GDP.
    -We should also start moving on from demonizing unhealthy products like alcohol/tobacco/weed and start focusing on more healthy habits and educating the masses on the detriments of unhealthy lifestyles like screen addiction and sedimentary lifestyle. Businesses that promote healthy living like gyms and mental health should have 0 tax implications

    Increase Revenues: This is difficult. Generally most tax plans fail in their intentions and usually hurt the middle class the most. I would prefer to increase taxes on tariffs, unproductive products, and leisure.

    We should also encourage middle class child births and stop allowing mass immigration of unskilled labor. Tech continues to absorb these low skilled labor jobs and this further burdens society.

    Yeah it's weird when white people do it but several Blacks have called it out as well. It was inauthentic and actually pretty offensive to see so many white people who love Kamala try to say it was authentic. Kamala grew up in Canada for most of her life and did not attend Baptist church. That preach thing she did was super cringe and should not be defended. She needs to speak in her real voice. That was a major turn off to many people, even if they'll still vote for her.

    It is not common at all. You're acting like these are the neighborhoods Kamala came from. They weren't. This is not how they speak in Montreal.

    Lmao this is hilarious. Don't try calling someone else out if you want to say stuff like this.

    A young person's most formidable years, especially when looking at language/speech pattern, is in their teenage years. Go do some research, or just continue licking Kamala's heels. You're acting like she grew up in East Oakland all her life. Please

    Did your feelings get hurt? Maybe your uncle reeko can console you.

    most people with common sense knew what I meant. You just want to nitpick the years because you don't have a good argument. Typical.

    Nah see what youre trying to do is nitpick on a technicality. When I said she grew up in Canada for most of her life, it was pretty clear I was talking about her formative years as a child and teenager.

    You’re twisting the context to sound like I meant her entire life as an adult when it's obvious I was referring to the years when someone’s speech and culture are shaped. kamala’s was heavily influenced by her time in Canada during her teens. So yeah, 'most of her life' in the context that matters here.

    there is no such thing as "Kamala Harris". It's an algorithm programmed by Pelosi, Schumer, and the Obamas.

    6 years out of 18 is not "most". If you knew anything about childhood development you would know what you stated is false. A child's accent/way of speaking is fully developed by age 12. Can that be changed? Absolutely.
