Had he lied to his mother (or simply didn't tell her who he was voting for) just to get a ride, SHE probably would have voted too and canceled out his vote. By riding his bike, he added a vote for Lamb AND robbed Saccone of a vote in the process. Smart kid.

That mom had a different attitude.

The kid was connected. quite an interesting story actually. Maybe he doesn't like what he's seen of trump.. and related more to the March for our Lives campaign?

Just drive slowly so you have plenty of time to make a last pitch for progress instead of regression.
