Yes, the Republican party will likely destroy our country if they maintain control of Congress. But I still refuse to vote for any Democrat whose views differ in any way from mine on any issue.

The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

As a fiscal conservative deficit hawk, there’s no way I could support a $1.5 trillion budget. Unless that $1.5 trillion was for an alcoholic Fox News weekend anchor who’s losing a war to Iran’s third tier army.

Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.
