Not everyone is married or has children, tons of seniors are widowed, tons of people are divorced

Why oh why can't they quit sounding like focus-tested politicians and just say "people" instead

I am very tired of the GOP claiming values like love of country, family, and faith, etc., to be their sole property. How is it when I say "I love my country" people think I am a right wing republican?

We let those words slip away, and we should reclaim them. And remember - we broadened the definition of family. We should be proudly pro-family.

We will deliver the child tax credit, paid family leave, and an host of other pro-family issues. Pro-people is accurate, but hasn't the ring to it.

80s-90s were the family-values shit and the Democrats did their best to chase after it

But today's GOP "values" nothing but sticking it to the libruls!!

They are now claiming to be the party of working people and working families.

As if those millionaires and billionaires, those union busters and racists have a right to say that!

that's a bit of a low bar. Our government hasn't done jack shit for regular Americans since long before Sec. Buttigieg was born in 1982.
