“Federal Election Commission records show Stein paid $100,000 in July to a consulting outfit that has worked with Republican campaigns, as well as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent presidential bid. The firm, Accelevate, is operated by Trent Pool. The Intercept reported that he appeared to be part of the mob that breached the grounds of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6., 2021. The Journal hasn’t independently verified the reporting.”

    No action?

    On behalf of my gay daughter who will be able to marry who she wants to because of Democrats, I just want to say [REDACTED SO I WON’T GET BANNED]. And on behalf of my son, who is trans, [THESE WORDS WOULD ALSO GET ME BANNED].

    Come to think of it, I have Democrats to thank for a return to sane pandemic policies, and Democrats to thank for the Inflation Reduction Act, the most impactful environmental legislation in thirty years. So you can take your “no action” and [NOPE, NOT GONNA SAY IT].

    I’m under no illusion that Democrats are perfect, but they’ve been as effective as possible, given the situation with literal Russian assets on the other side of the aisle, trying as hard as possible to destroy America.

      Democratic legislators won’t protect her marriage by codifying Obergefell, just like they refused to codify Roe when they had the chance. Democratic legislators spent decades on half-measures and it had to be decided by the Supreme Court instead. Now that sort of incrementalism is a dead end. SCOTUS works against the people.

      On behalf of your daughter who’s marriage may be under threat because of the Respect for Marriage act from Democrats she may be no better off then before 2012 depending where she lives. What protections have Dems provided for your son other than lip service in the face of republicans passing over 500 anti-trans bills the last several years? The DNC claims to have their backs while denying them affordable housing, livable wages, access to affordable health and mental care. Nothing but lip service from them.

      The first 2 months of US bombs in Gaza had the same environmental impact as burning 150k tons of coal. That war has been going on for nearly 12 months. Out of one side of their mouth they talk about mitigating environmental damage. But their actions tell a different story.

          If SCOTUS strikes down Obergefell or Loving it allows states to refuse licenses to same sex and/or interracial couples.

              Then the entire argument has nothing to do with democrats and you “people” are giving Dems, who are mostly anti gay marriage, way, way too much credit.

                Day old account and already attacking Dems and defending Stein? Wouldn’t be at all surprising if this is a sockpuppet. Definitely not here in good faith.

                  Or surprised to see this right wing nonsense outside of reddit and facebook. It’s genuinely amazing that you people are smart enough to leave the mainstream internet.

                  If Russia was as half as powerful as you people give it credit for you’d be speaking russian already.
