Affordability is damn important and we also need to demand

accountability. A bunch of gopher and magat fuckers need extended stays in prison cells when this fearful trip is done.

The real heart of the country, and the election, is the
people... those who have been harmed and killed
by this sadistic, psychopathic administration.

Truth, I wish we could talk about that more since
that's where my heart is... but I'll take any kind of
win right now.

3. Yeah, the "pardon Nixon" type crap needs to end. The nation can only heal when these fuckers are held accountable.

But as I said, I'd like to hear more about the people
who were harmed and killed.

We seem to be veering from that, just as we veered
from the words "poor" and "poverty."

I don't like seeing our love for all humans, regardless
of wealth, compromised.

Anyone not in the MAGA cult/Epstein class can get behind that.

If voters can handle 4 words instead of 2, I'd add Common Decency

Simple message all Dems should latch onto. Inclusive, simple, and it's now been proven to be effective.

We need to create a new social standard. Not to go all Bernie Sanders, but when we've got the income disparity we have, affordability is going to be a problem. You can't just jail everyone who wanted to make a shit ton of money that contributed to this by paying their employees lesser, but legal amounts while making millions/billions. Are you going to jail everyone in California who has gone NIMBY on not building condos because the American dream is a single family house with a picket fence not a condo that is making housing unaffordable? It's not just Republicans that have contributed to our affordability crisis.
