I don't see any voting rights bills passing in this current environment, unfortunately.

Apparently, that's a complicated concept for them.

We have no idea how any of those 3 will vote.
But don't let that stop the targeting.

Maybe we can take a cue from OH-11 & begin with the approach of what sneering labels & despicable targeting got them.

Start over, beginning today

Sinema is my least fav but I'm not counting anyone out until the votes are in.

Notice the outstanding accomplishments by Democrats who diligently work beyond the self-aggrandizing posturing before a camera.

Sen Ossoff is a brilliant, exceptional treasure to the future of our Democratic Party.

~Thanks Sen Ossoff.
