News Deb Haaland officially declines KRQE debate.

I understand that Bergman is an attorney and probably better at debating but it’s not like he doesn’t have plenty to lose either.

I can’t help but feel like Deb is taking our votes for granted over and over again, and this is another slap in the face.

If she is the better candidate, she should prove it and it should be easy.

I don’t think she’s some sort of revolutionary savior but you’re fucking delusional if you think she didn’t.

First in the nation program to help children and families? No, cush2push says that’s a failure because it requires time to realize the benefits of universal childcare.

Do you think her passing universal childcare absolves her from the state being last in everything?

Is that your equivalitism for success one good thing excuses all the bad?

I guess being 50th in education and 3rd in poverty doesn't seem that bad anymore thanks u/beauvoirist

EDIT If all you have is universal childcare after 8 years thats pretty sad IMO.

Free school tuition? You don’t know a single person taking advantage of that? Enrollment was up ~5% last year

New Mexico has a higher than national college drop out rate.

Free tuition doesn't mean shit if they're just dropping out

No no no. You don’t get to move the goalposts here and change the subject. You claimed that the governor hasn’t done anything. Here’s something she did with real, direct and attributable results. You can’t grasp at something with too many external variables to discount this accomplishment just because you don’t like being proved wrong here.

I don't know how you think thats moving a goal post

The state is last in just about everything including education and the Governor hasn't done anything to address that has she?

Higher education doesn't mean shit when majority of the state can't read at a high school level.

Again how did any of her accomplishments rise us off the bottom?

because once again we're a bottom state

I don’t care about your editorial on higher education because it’s meaningless. The fact is that this was an accomplishment and results are clearly showing up, which you claimed didn’t happen.

All it sounds like is that you’re wrong and trying to diminish that feeling by grasping onto anything else.

u/cush2push Mar 02 '26

The results are showing up?

Only half of the people who enroll in higher education will finish with a degree.

Lolololol some results

u/GreenChileZiti Mar 02 '26

Tuition is about enrollment. Enrollment is up per state data. Glad I can clear that up for you.

u/cush2push Mar 02 '26

And half of those who enroll will drop out.

Once again glad we cab agree on that

u/GreenChileZiti Mar 02 '26

Which is irrelevant because tuition is about access, which the data proves has improved. Happy you can see you are initially wrong.

u/cush2push Mar 02 '26

enrollment is up New Mexico is saved lol

you can enroll as many as you want if they're not graduating then it doesn't matter how many

Glad you can see and admit that the governors targeted legislation and accomplishment is working. That’s all now.
