The September Issues
T and R, Ms. Benny!!🙂 I just don’t get the feeling the House will change hands like the media keeps squawking about. The Senate won’t. In fact, the Dems/Dims wil pick up seats in that chamber. Abortion, legalizing pot, and climate chaos are major issues for the young people. There’s a lot of anger out here. The FRight antics are fueling it.
Not to mention the book bans and laws aimed at restricting knowledge. Someone should tell DeSantis and the rest of these happy fascists that the surest way to ignite a thirst for knowledge in a child is to tell them it’s forbidden, and they can’t know it. Or, better yet? Maybe not. They’re self destructing just fine as is.
The teens and college kids will just to PO the fascists at large.

Climate chaos is a major issue out there, too. Progressives have got to run on it.
Progressives need to run on our whole platform, everywhere. Some of these places are so saturated in misinformation that it’s the only way to get the truth out there. You put the truth in front of most thinking people and they are going to go for it.
Elise Stefanik is calling her quite conservative opponent a radical extremist from “downstate” (which is ironic, since she doesn’t even live in the district anymore, and she certainly doesn’t rely on local fundraising). The only thing she does is spew lies that are not really countered by much of anything. People listen to her, and then watch Fox where every lie she spews is repeated and reinforced. I hope Mr. Moderate takes her out, if only for the pleasure of watching his primary challenge next time around, which is a presidential election year.
Capitalism has outlived its usefulness.

But, but, how we gonna pay for it????
The same way we always do, use the taxpayer mastercard that has an infinite limit courtesy of the american taxpayer…
Except when it comes to paying for expenses that benefit poor and low wage people.
