67. Understandable and acceptable. I feel the same way about
Wed Jun 24, 2026, 02:58 PM

the issue I care most about — the world my kids and their kids live in. There’s absolutely no question that voting for whatever Democratic candidate that appears on my general election ballot is the only viable choice for me. I don’t give a rat’s ass what specific priorities or issues they hold near and dear to themselves when voting in the general election — so long as they are Democrats.

At the same time, my hope would be that they always have the best interests of all of our kids and grandkids in mind at all times and in everything they do in office. To me that means seeking and building equality in everything — rights, security, wellbeing — for all.
