People who disable quote-reposts are scared that their opinions won’t stand up to scrutiny. This is a dumb dumb take. The only people approved to die by euthanasia in this country are going to die soon anyway by terrible, painful diseases. Thought experiments are easy. Terminal cancer is hard

No I just said I don’t want to be represented by someone who has never led anything, been in public service, nor lived in my district longer than my puppy has been alive
Everyone who said Kat was an unserious candidate was wrong

Laura Fine trails in third with 10%, and all other candidates receive 6% or less of the vote.

“Who’s Daniel Biss” is something that Kat probably asked eight months ago when she moved into the district.
Pro tip: he’s the one who has lived here and been serving the public here for years, unlike someone else in the race

Who’s Daniel Biss? Has he been on the front lines or been willing to get beat up & prosecuted all for defending Democracy?

If Democrats release files showing that Trump was complicit in Epstein's pedophilia, and Trump tries to distract from it by starting a war with Nigeria or Venezuela, then Democrats will have blood on their hands.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
