Vote Democratic

It seems evident that the midterms will give America the chance to get it's politicians back to work. Whether you are a Dem, a Repub or an Indy voter, America has to fire the Republicans. It should be evident to any voter, that Dems have conservative voters and progressive voters. That's the big tent. 

Let me get this straight. Crazy Robert Kennedy, crazy Rand Paul and nutso Ron Johnson, spend eight months "extracting" any notes from Tony Fauci they could find on eleven separate governments servers, but the Democrats are the "communists" ?

Republicans who want Jack Smith jailed for obtaining their phone records concerning January 6th, just released to the public, 30k texts and over 500 voicemails from Dr. Fauci's time as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Desease. 

This is stunning when you compare it to the Epstein Files, the war in Iran, the war on the high seas in the Caribbean and the war on renewable energy. The Republicans have all the time in the world to dig around for six year old text messages. When it comes to Congress doing any work, not so much. 

Do the Republican realize that Fauci worked for Trump, and it was Trump who headed up Operation Warp Speed ? Trump nearly got the Nobel Prize for the vaccine. Why is the pandemic only a complicated time for everyone else ? It's as if the Republicans weren't even there. These efforts to rewrite history are childish. 

The reality of the situation is that there are a lot of sick people out there, still. The Republicans should be supportive of Americans making choices for themselves, utilizing the science. But they're not. The Republicans want to punish people who don't go along with their parade of ignorance. 

The Republicans sow doubt everywhere in order to seek power for themselves. They all got the shot. They all wore masks. They know it did not in anyway impede their freedom. And they all prosper off the stock market, the one that's been skyrocketing since Biden.

Fear of the needle is just that, fear. The Republicans are acting like the hard choice was to avoid the needle. Ron DeSantis didn't go to war against the Democratic Party, he went to war against politicians in his own state who wanted to follow the recommendations / guidelines. And guys like Aaron Rogers and Novak Djokovic never championed a stance on the vaccine, they both just lied over and over again about it. 

The people who used the vaccine as impetus to take over school boards and create litmus tests for their hand picked weirdo politicians, have no actual platform. The Republicans have welcomed this vocal minority into their tent, along with anyone fearful of anything. This is quite the shift for the party that was invented in response to slavery. Abolition was the original DEI btw. 

It doesn't make sense that the Republican Party began as a DEI project, but then wound up wrecking civil rights, jailing immigrants and now wants to ignore the American Indians in history class. The embrace of vaccine critics, media critics, education critics and science critics has turned the Republicans into conspiracy junkies. Did they even realize that Obama and Biden allowed for all this in the first place ? The economy created by the Dems have allowed the Republicans to ignore governing all together. It's the stock market that has allowed the Republicans to totally disappear into election denials, Operation Warp Speed denials and cover ups. 

Trump and the Epstein Files, Trump's cabinet and the Epstein Files, this means zero, but let's get at that Fauci diary. Trump's family is making more money than most countries, but let's release those phone records of the guy who successfully fought AIDS and COVID. The totality of the Republican missteps abroad can be traced directly to DOGE, yet the Republicans continue to starve people and send Steve Witkoff to start wars. 

The priorities of the Republican Party have been layed bare. They are an unsuccessful bunch. Their main characters are enriching themselves at historic levels, in front of people's faces. They have declared a golden age, as they pillage the nation's assets. Again, voters need to recognize that what the barbarians are gathering, are the fruits of our liberal democracy. Like Putin splitting up industry amongst oligarchs, Trump's Project 2025 drained everything it could while handing the reigns of a now undemocracized, democratic backsliding system to his donors. There is no debate about this. 

Elon Musk is selling cars in China, while supposedly being the leader of America's technological war against China. Elon Musk led the charge in divesting in aid programs, scrapping federal unions and firing inspector generals. And now SpaceX has gone public and he is allowed to build methane gas power generators. Musk has trashed a large part of Texas, and he has now been granted an island in Louisiana to destroy as well. Both Rand Paul and Ron Johnson, apparently, think digging for Fauci dirt is more important than digging for Musk dirt. But they don't. They're lieing. The Republicans are a farce, a televison show available across all media channels. Both the Republicans and Musk are both Pizzagate. They are charletons. We are not going to Mars.
