“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.”

      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.

      On behalf of my gay daughter who will be able to marry who she wants to because of Democrats

      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.

          Stop trying to sabotage her future.

          When the Supreme Court overturns Obergefell, what’s Democrats’ plan to get her rights back? We gave them the necessary majorities to codify both Roe and Obergefell, and they did neither. And I’m not seeing any concrete plans to move the needle back on Roe. Do you suppose there are any for Obergefell?

          When it happens, will you also make excuses for how the party squandered majorities that we gave them?

              Any time in which Democrats had at least 50 was sufficient to kill the filibuster forever. We gave them necessary majorities and they squandered them.

              And do you think denying Democrats Senate seats in the future will help my kids more somehow?

              Did I say that? I can criticize Democrats when they’re useless (which is virtually always) without wanting fewer of them in the Senate.
