23. The fact THIS is even an issue
Tue Jul 23, 2024, 11:38 AM
Jul 2024

Tells us just how insane and depraved our political discourse has become. Simply outrageous. What I want to know from a Presidential candidate is will you do right by the people of this nation, fight for those without voice and privilege, will you respect our American institutions like Democracy, and will you exude the good part of being American while not ever showing the bad part of being an American. In short, how will you lead, where will you take our nation into the future, what kind of people and planet will our next President usher in. At no point did "have had a child" ever come up under the requirements, nor should it.

Republicans are backwoods rednecks, fueled up on hyper-Jesus and a lot of hate. What ever happened to actual policy proposals in how THEY would lead this nation?
