I grew up with Alex Pretti
The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

And what does the term "ranking Democrat" mean?
It means they can talk, but can be shutdown by the committee chair, who is GOP.
People love voting third party and acting the fool, but they don't understand enough civics to know the consequences.

Republicans don't elect Republicans - Progressives Do
Voting is a numbers game, and when turnout suffers, Democrats feel the heat

The party that has spent unlimited resources and energy getting states to pass laws to allow citizens to openly carry loaded weapons anywhere - now believes that exercising this right is permission for law enforcement to murder you.
Honestly, how dumb do they think we are?

Think about how although Pretti was a gunowner, when he saw someone being attacked his first response wasn't to use the gun but to help them up and ask them if they're ok.
It wasn't even on his mind that a gun would be useful.
Compare that to the paranoia of rightwing gun culture.
