6. You'll trust your own research more than me

There's no point in an anonymous, unpaid DUer such as myself going on "data quests" when each of us can usually find our own sources of reliable information so easily. If someone asks for a comparison of policies and leaders, for example, across three states, it's a fool's errand, even if the folks asking for the errand don't mean it as such. Why would the results of the errand be trusted? It would actually not be an overall good thing if they were.

In this post, I just want to underline the wins by these two Democrats who deserve our thanks and attention. If you have a reason to disagree, I'll be glad to read it.

These were votes in Congress. I asked what did she run on that was a moderate policy that wouldn't be supported? Nanjeanne Sunday #18

When a candidate runs for office, their past votes and/or stances are looked at by the voters. The votes and/or stances Celerity Sunday #20
