Red states can't vote blue if there are no blue candidates. Blue candidates need more financial support in Red states, local residents can't afford much, and the DNC ain't doin' it. bluemissouri.org/jessica-pipe...

Hi-ho steevarino~ (I used to watch Steve Allen) Read some of Jess Piper's posts. There are blue voters in red states, but the entrenched politics make it almost impossible for anyone not supported and introduced by the DNC to run, even in local races. jesspiper.substack.com

The red states already suffer from terrible roads and infrastructure. Schools are underfunded. Poverty levels are higher. They live in healthcare deserts. And now their politicians have taken away SNAP, Medicaid, VA benefits and FEMA, but subsidize corporations that destroy the environment.

I'm pretty dumb re: investments and finance. Which gov't office manages corporate stock shares and how do those generate revenue? Will the Apple and Intel just send the government quarterly or annual interest checks? Why don't we just collect the full corporate taxes they should be paying?

If ICE, etc. wanted local police assistance, they would follow the law - not ICE/HSI "policy." Provide local law enforcement and detainees with valid, signed judicial warrants for each and every detention, remove masks, wear and display their badges with ID numbers and wear body cams. DUE PROCESS.

How many federal vehicles filled with agents does it take to make a "routine" traffic stop? Are they random stops, or is there a reasonable articulable suspicion for each stop? Or is these to fill time until an actual crime occurs somewhere? Most of these videos look like feds on parade drill.

How does counting mail-in ballots received by election day cost candidates more money? It's not just one party or candidate that is waiting for the final tally. Why is it only one party suing for restrictions? It's like a Vonnegut novel (Between Time and Timbuktu).
