Back in 2012, Republican candidate Todd Akin - who was running against Claire McCaskill for the Senate that year - became a public joke when his explanation of why he opposed abortion, even in cases of rape or incest, made it into the news cycle. Who can forget?
Mallory McMorrow. Listen to her “ Faith without works is dead.” Dead and injured, just like the students and their teachers in Uvalde. Muster outrage, not complacency. Do not become numb. Spread the word.
VOTE. GET THE VOTE OUT. That is faith with work. The most important election in decades. Vote out greed. Vote out guns. Vote out whatever you despise by voting in that which you respect.
", this shouldn’t be as shocking as opponents are finding it." I think the shock is faux, manufactured to cover their failure to take effective legislative action because "We never thought they'd actually DO IT" and the had the Hyde Amendment for coverage. What we need now, is model legislation from the Democrats reflecting the views of the majority of Americans so that the absurdity of the GOP position can be highlighted. Still might not change enough votes to make a difference but, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Christine's advice (and yours) on voting is spot on; public opinion will only be damned until we stand up and boot these clowns.
"There are so many issues and policy outcomes that depend on the result of the November election. It truly is the most important election of our lifetimes, and the most important since 1860.
Vote like your life depended on it - if you think you’re safe, then vote like the life to those you know and love depended on it.
Because it does."
Thank you, TC. Inaction and despair can no longer be allowed. As Christine said, we must GET THE VOTE OUT and get these monsters out of office.
This is what we have come to - and yet in some fashion, it is always who we have been. The difference is that now we have the tools to exact revenge so much more efficiently.....
