I think it's not a bad thing to have some variety in Congress regarding viewpoints that are a little more on the extreme end. I can't say I agree with a good chunk of her platform, especially wanting to abolish ICE. I can see wanting to modify it's role from what it is now some, but ICE has a vital function in this country.
While I certainly want people to have a livable wage, affordable health care, housing, food and a good life in general, no one ever addresses how it gets paid for. In simple terms, you either have to bring in more taxes, spend less in government, or grow the GDP. Probably not just one of those. I'm totally fine with paying more in taxes if it actually goes to help the situation and isn't being wasted. I'm fine with cutting wastage in government or redundant expenditures as long as we aren't cutting programs that are truly needed by people that aren't able to help themselves.
One side wants to cut taxes, cut government spending and turn a blind eye to the people below the middle class. While it pisses me off that there are people out there gaming the system by being useless on purpose and getting welfare, you can't throw away everything because of these people, especially the ones that have children that don't have a choice in the matter.
The other side wants to give everyone affordable or free insurance, education, housing, etc., which is wonderful but they aren't honest and upfront about what happens when the bill comes due for it (big tax increases or further increases to national debt, or both).
Neither side is honest about the down side of their ideas. To be honest, there is no perfect answer. Someone will get shafted no matter what happens. I hate to see lazy people that choose not to work getting by just as well or better on the government teat than people who work 40 hrs a week trying to provide for themselves. I hate even more seeing children and disabled people suffering and struggling in a country that should be doing more.
I think other countries do some things in a much better way than the United States, but I also think the opposite is true, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten where we are today. I know this is rambling, but I really wish things weren't so polarized.
