as trite as it is to say, this is an area where voting would have made an enormous difference in peopleā€™s lives the CTC died because Joe Manchin was the 50th vote and he was convinced the parents would spend money on drugs one more D senator elected in 2020 and it would have been permanent

You say trite, I say accurate. Many popular measures here in FL have failed to carry due to lack of engagement. I haven't given up on squashing poverty yet though.

I ended up at an exclusive mountain retreat in WV with Joe Manchin when he was governor (long story). I came away from that weekend with the impression that he was dumb but cunning and absolutely situation he encountered was framed as "what's in it for me." Despicable.

Perpetually angry at Cal Cunninghamā€™s inability to not send the worst sexts ever.

NO. Absolutely not. Manchin did NOT believe they'd spend the money on drugs. Just because he said it doesn't mean he believes it. Also, FUCK JOE MANCHIN.

These are investments in each other. Not every investment pays off, but just because you loose money (someone buys drugs) on a few doesnā€™t mean the smart move is not to invest. Statistically these kids will pay more taxes growing up outside of poverty. You can be greedy and still do the right thing.

Georgia doesn't have much to be proud of politically, but we damn sure sent two *GOOD* Democrats to the senate!

Senators Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock

Yep - the sliver of racists in Wisconsin who wanted Tony Evers but not Mandela Barnes, or the dipshits in Maine who likes Collins because she was "local" are the real villains here.
