    Rumor had it that Vivek had trouble getting along with people at DOGE, I would not be shocked if Elon is the one who caused the relational problems there. He doesn’t handle getting challenged very well.

    As a Vivek fan, I think he’d be far more useful as the governor of Ohio than as a leader of DOGE anyways. I hear that DOGE is generally toothless, so it does appear to be a kiddie table of sorts.

        Many things. That he supports energy, the family, borders, limited government, opposes gender theory, entangling ourselves necessarily in international conflicts, etc. There’s a lot to like. He’s a true conservative in a way that many modern Republicans, including Trump, are not.

            In supporting energy, one of his flagship policies was promoting domestic energy production. It’s not a policy unique to Vivek, to be fair, but I like it.

            In supporting the family, Vivek is a big fan of policies that increase parental rights and give parents flexibility when raising their children. For example, he supports school choice.

        I’m a fan of him too. Very smart guy. Believes in hard work. And he worked hard for what he as. Overall, I think he’s a great guy.

            It’s true. I think he has some good ideas. See, I don’t judge someone just based on their party. I base it on what they do and their integrity. I’m a socialist, but I still think Vivek has some good ideas.

            Thanks!

      Agreed. I like Vivek, but he can do better than be on some advisory committee.
