If Democrats Ran Red States Fewer People Would Die

Thom, this report is extremely enlightening! If it doesn’t wake up some of the “dead beats” in our society, nothing will!

Bottom line with all of this is real simple.

We MUST, MUST, get to the polls every single time there is an election. It doesn’t matter if it’s for local, state, federal. We must vote BLUE 💙💙💙💙 in every election group m here on until we completely eliminate the current Republican Party and replace those in our Congress with younger, more Democratic leaders that want to take…

To any reasonable degree of probability, the numbers in 2023 have to be much worse. States like mine committed us to a forced COVID herd immunity experiment, well documented by the CDC in 2021. In other words DeSantis and our legislators culled our state of proportionally more Republicans, since they die at a higher rate than Democrats. On the other hand we've had immigration of huge numbers of Republicans who apparently admire the policy.

Whereas 111.7 Floridians die per 100,000 from COVID in 2…

I feel for you, Daniel. I lived in Florida until just over 5 1/2 years ago. I had to get the help out. DeStupid has ruined that state with his gerrymandering of the states voting districts, you guys will never have a decent election ever again. And his rules/laws he’s implemented on the COVUD, education system he’s screwed up. It’s totally gone. I’m not surprised he has any educators of any degree of competence remaining there to teach.

Cubans were RABID Repubs. Rick Scott did a lot of damage. Marco Rubio is useless. It’s not just DeSatan, but he has taken it to a new level of venal.

Lots of Cubans voted for Obama and HRC. Our main problem is that the DNC has written us off and BLM said some stupid stuff that forced ALL Cubans and Venezuelans to support Republicans. nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk…

Where I live, most heavily Cuban American population, the Democrats still comprise a majority but we are represented by 3 MAGATs.

BLM is he best ally MAGA has. This young asshat egoists, are still patting themselves on the back for their stupid Defund the Police.

That is what myopia gets you. Single issue politics is a losing proposition..

ProChoice might be the exception now that the reality of Dobbs has set in. ProChoice advocates were asleep at the switch, taking the status quo for granted.

They weren't even alarmed when Trump appointed pro fascist judges to the bench, not just the Supreme Courtwith 1,500 lawyers vetted b…

Has anybody traced back the origin of "defund the police?" It's such stupid, obvious sabotage, politically, that I toy with (completely speculative) conspiracy theory that it comes from malicious propaganda. Wondering for some time.....

The way I understood it at the time is: Police were being called for too many domestic quarrels which should be handled more by “social workers”. These calls were too often ending in the police shooting someone.

At the same time, police departments were not only getting increased funding, they were getting “surplus” military equipment from the Feds.

The idea was to take SOME of the money from the police & fund social workers.

Of course all it took was a few nut jobs to call for getting rid of the police all together…

NO Dem politician espoused getting rid of the police!
