Harm reductionist. Liberal with progressive leanings. Here bc my rural VA neighbors are in a cult. Strange days when you get radicalized by empathy. Gentle reminder - the lesser of 2 evils, hurts less people. 🫶🏼

2/2 We should be organizing, getting some signs and standing outside the Capitol. Letting Dems take the blame for Republicans increasing healthcare costs while there is still time to stop Republicans from increasing healthcare costs (January) is the most left leaning thing to do ever.

I think Biden didn't release them because a judge ordered them sealed while Maxwell was on trial. And we used to have an administration & DOJ that listened when judges made rulings & stuff.

Walmart having some Thanksgiving meal deal doesn't mean Thanksgiving is going to be cheaper. The cost of a turkey has gone up 11%. So if you're home cooking like all those trad wives out there are expected to be - voting MAGA cost you money.

When you lie to Republicans what is the thought process? They will never check this, the don't tune in anyway so I can say whatever I want or they are dumb enough to believe anything... Also according to Trump gas prices have gone up since July. 🥴

FYI more than 1 million Virginians stayed home when Youngkin was elected Gov compared to when we voted for Biden. Republicans only win when turnout is down.

How am I scrolling through his list of lies and no mention of Trump saying he was exonerated. You know who's running with that today? MAGA. Heaven forbid an interviewer say you were found guilty of 34 felonies, adjudicated rape & your trials in FL and GA weren't over until you were elected.

Trump's amazing deal nets 8 million tons less soybeans sales to China over a 4 year span. Anyone else who started needless trade wars and lost sales compared to the last guy would be viewed as a terrible business man, Trump - best deal maker ever. 🙄

I'm so mad I'd never stay home. Staying home is what got us into this mess. It's also at the heart of the reason Dems keep tacking right.

I feel like Democrats when asked about trans people in bathrooms should hold up a picture of Laverne Cox (with her permission of course) and say this is a trans woman. I would fear for her safety if I forced her to use a man's restroom, wouldn't you?!?

Am I the only one feeling Epstein Client list vibes? Republicans wave around a stack of papers and people are still like - yeah, we totally believe that's exactly what they say it is.

Those texts were 3 years old. Obviously not very concerning to the GOP since according to them they knew all about them. They held onto them for an October surprise instead of releasing them in the primaries. I'm not going to be manipulated into a MAGA Attorney General. I voted for Jay Jones.

Democrats are having daily press conferences. Sorry our media is so horrible that we have no idea any of this is happening.

Just to validate your feelings - it was reported that Trump told Netanyahu not to agree to a ceasefire because it would help Harris.

After the Dominion purchase Democratic Governors should be following Virginia's example and making paper ballots the gold standard. They should also make noise at their Republican counterparts who claimed these paperless machines were fraudulent & call them out for not making elections secure.

There's a 2019 law guaranteeing back pay for furloughed workers isn't there? Hope Democrats get on megaphones & talk about how the White House is again trying to act with lawlessness instead of caving to a tyrant.

How about this? Can we call it this?!? I feel like they're on to something here & a new word might be in order - Cuz Trump certainly wants to be a fascist dictator & we are being run by Bible pushing idiots whose strings are being pulled by billionaires.
