Gary Chambers Jr, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, on Wednesday blasted his opponent, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA), for a history of folksy talk and no action.

During an appearance on CNN, Chambers was asked why he was taking on the longtime Louisiana senator.

Chambers pointed out that Louisiana is ranked as one of the worst states for crime, opportunity, health care and education."

"Kennedy has been elected almost as long as I have been alive," he noted, "and you can't take responsibility for our good culture and gumbo and all of the flavor we have but not responsibility for where we are as a state in comparison to our neighbors."

"My generation are looking at the leadership and we don't want Sen. Foghorn Leghorn, we want somebody who is going to go to D.C. and represent the people and talk about the issues that are important to the people of Louisiana."

Chambers recalled that Kennedy had voted against the recent infrastructure bill despite his state's crumbling roads and bridges.

"Having a U.S. senator who doesn't prioritize the people of Louisiana, doesn't prioritize working people, would rather spend his time on Fox News making quips about whether or not we taste like chicken to a bear," he explained, "those are not things that bring value to the voters of Louisiana or to this country."

It would be interesting to get a actual comparison of the number of questions asked, and the number of actual answering of them by POTUS. There was someone snow flaking about Biden not doing many press conferences and all I could do was think back to Trump's almost never actually answering the question that was asked by the journalists.

At least when Biden answers a question asked, it is a very real attempt to answer it fully and with full consideration.

Things are looking good right now for Biden becoming president until 2024, but the senate will still be in the hands of the "Grim Reaper" Moscow Mitch McConnell, who made it is goal to make Obama a one-term president, and stole Obama's ability to appoint judges or pass legislation for years.

Us Americans can change this in 2022 but voting out the Republican senators. Only then can things about the unlimited dark money flowing around our elections, fixes to our healthcare system, and everything else we need as a nation be worked on.

Here is the list of the 2022 senate seats up for election:

Hopefully we can get some great candidates and have a unimpeded and non-propagandized election in 2022 and finally after 6 years of stopping Obama's ability to legislate, 4 years of Trump, and what will likely be 2 years of Republican obstruction of Biden's agenda, start to get back to work as a nation.

Inflation and cost of gas and immigration will topple the Democratic Party. Watch and see!

Which is a shame as inflation and gas are due to world events and even the US is not an island. Immigration and the shot mandates are Biden shooting himself in the foot.

regardless of party….America is in an irreversible decline. Feel sorry for our children.

lol @ 'topple'. And the right wing fear mongering sure has scared people with their ignoring that the economy is far better right now than it was under the Republicans. And with all the people bitching about not being able to find employees, you should stop watching the snow flaking form the right wing propagandists because some immigration is actually a good thing, and part of the problem with people not being able to fill those job vacancies.

I disagree.

What you are seeing is just the ass end of 50 years of Republican obstruction to having any actual legislation to benefit everyone in our nation that doesn't benefit the Wealthy White Heterosexual Male Only agenda most. There is plenty of low hanging fruit that will get us back on track once these insurrectionist are voted out and we get to finally having 2 parties full of people looking to do the work that we need from them.

I am very excited to see what our children do once we start to operate at as close to 100% as possible, instead of the 33% or so we have been for the last half century, and about 10% prior to that.

I would say that between 1942 and 1950 we went harder than 10%. If you are talking economic potential.

Im talking about the collective brainpower of the people pulling all the strings economically and governmentally.

I was being generous with 10% of the population having the ability to get into a position to do much.

That was too large a territory for me to grasp. Explanatory link?

Nope, not sure how to link nepotism of the Wealthy White Heterosexual Male Only agenda that has had control of our country since it's founding. The same ones losing their minds now and are spending billions to keep their cultists snowballed.

I am trying to find the commonalities between three general yet distinct statements:

economic potential (mine)
pulling all the strings (yours, with)
a position to do much

My grasp of civics is not enough. I would like a guide to this terminology. I see mismatches.

Outside of family money? If I am reading what you wrote right.

To have the ability to have a high economic potential, you would need to start out with a lot of finances to take advantage of them. Parents doing everything they can to get their kids in a good position to take over will generally pull all the strings they can for them (and the more money/contacts a person has generally means more strings to pull). And being in a position to do something means you have the capital that is not tied up with doing the whole living paycheck to paycheck thing.

All comes down to family money if you are looking for a kind of increasing scale to tie those three things together.

That helps.

So it seems to become imperative that government assume some of the role of family money. Unless I’m mistaken, that is a basic principle of social democracy. Extend resources to the capable but less privileged. The recent “first family” finely illustrates unchecked privilege in action.

Trump really is the greatest example of nepotism run amok that I know of.

that's just good social investment...enabling the truly talented to be able to compete on a fair field with the entitled incompetents makes a lot more sense than just letting the same inbred wealthy people continue to run their private empires at societies expense

THIS^^^....this is what every democrat in washington should have been doing for years now, continuously calling bullshit on the republican bullshitters, loudly...DO NOT let them think they're getting away with a damn thing, let them know in no uncertain terms that we're onto their bullshit, and are going to make sure the entire country is aware of every bit of it
