The only reason we’ve been blocked from holding the highest office or having a majority in any governmental branch is to protect these wretchedly evil men who are addicted to money, who get off on our suffering, and who delight in sexually assaulting little girls and boys.

Women would blow this global pedophile ring to smithereens. Women would hunt down and take out every single one of these predators and make sure they never saw the light of day again. Women would stop wars, have book clubs, create farms for pets, love everyone, and NURTURE HUMANITY.

I agree there should be clear “no-go” donors. The NRA is an obvious one. But a blanket “no PAC, no corporate, no big donor ever” rule for all candidates is a fantasy. What matters is independence and consistency. If someone sells out, expose them. Fair game.

When TX Dems famously left the state together in 2021 to block quorum, Talarico was one of the first to return. It caused friction w/in his caucus. Not a moral judgment, but it’s relevant. It’s interesting how loudly people talk about “purity” while skipping over that part of the record.
