Same sex marriage, vs climate bill. What is the connection I’m missing?? She’s a dope.

We want 'this' but since you propose we do 'this', we are against 'this'.

Republican egos are bruised so they throw tantrums and break their own toys.

The Republicans were going to kill that bill regardless, bigotry is what they're about.

You literally have candidates for their party talking about making it legal to kill homosexuals and Susan wants us to think their party was going to follow through on marriage equality. Sure.

You sound like an “aginner”, Karen…I mean, Susan.

What would you support? Insurrection? Tax cuts for the rich? Abolish education?

Please tell us about programs you would support to actually help all the people.
