US Elections (& Politics) :)

Y'all remember when Ron Paul was one of the Republican candidates in 2012 and he campaigned on how we had to balance the budget, slash wasteful spending, end foreign aid, and how we could even eliminate the federal income tax and STILL have a balanced budget with the appropriate spending cuts, but you guys voted for Mitt Romney instead?

I do.

I voted for the libertarian that year. The GOP sunk to an all-time low that year....hard to believe they sunk lower than John McCain in 2008 yet they did.
 
Maybe a good start but that's not near enough. And seriously, you wanna give all taxpayers a $5,000 DOGE refund? SMH

The Republicans were doing whatever they could to appeal to the left-- twice in a row, they ran left-of-center candidates, and both times they lost. The left then claimed that the right had moved too far to the right, despite doing this. Now we see how well THAT has worked out...
