Jesus does my post really make me somehow right wing. Grandpapy just tell me what following the money means from a layman's perspective? I wasn't suggesting that I was going to follow the trail to corruption I was simply suggesting we pursue fraud wear it exists. How would you like to have me teach my children? One thing I have taught them is to engage other people and try to change their political leaning. This forums does not make any effort to bring people into the fold with the exception of a few who realize that education works much better. I also don't think I said anything defending congressman who benefited hugely from the pandemic. I thought I suggested we pursue fraud. Hannibal are you suggesting that Democrats don't fill bills with pork and that the Republicans are the only party that does. I really don't think that you do. I'm pretty certain there are crooks on both sides of the aisle and no. I definitely did not read either of the bills put through.
I'm pro choice. I'm not opposed to a national heath program. I think we should institute some forms of gun control. Think people should make a living wage but I'm not sure how to go about accomplishing that. I think we should provide funding to black universities who are struggling. I've also have never voted for a republican candidate of any kind. If any of that makes me the enemy here I apologize. If I am not towing the party line I really don't give a fuck. For those of you who responded constructively I appreciate it.
Just vote Republicans out and I'm good.
I don't think I can change anybody's mind and I don't even try. I am concerned about the fascist threat to our democracy. That is the greatest threat to the US right now. White supremacist fascist terrorists and their sociopath leader. Everything you object to is just chaff compared to that.
So, just vote Republicans out for now. They give plenty of reasons for doing so. Pick one. The tax cut to the wealthy, their assault on women's civil rights, their support for police brutality, especially against Black and brown people, their opposition to affordable health care for everybody, their religious bigotry, their hypocrisy in almost every action they take, the grift and corruption, not to mention the way they tolerate sexual predators in their midst as long as they only prey on women.
We can work on or personal differences later.
