Democrats must change how we operate to win the next election.
Following is my view, speaking as a Democratic activist and precinct committee person for 18 years. I’ve been the Chair of the powerhouse LD18 Democrats and a board member (and President for three years) of Democrats of Greater Tucson.
Like everyone else, I was blinded by false optimism. I believed in the upbeat outlook of Simon Rosenberg of the Hopium Chronicles. I was caught up in the enthusiasm and positivity when I attended the 2024 Democratic National Convention. I was confident when Harris raised $1 Billion for her campaign. I was assured when Harris’ rallies were bigger than Trump’s at the same venues.
But when election day came, it turned out to be an illusion. Biden waited years too long to get out of the race, and his staff covered up his infirmities. Harris said on The View on October 8 that there’s ‘not a thing’ she’d change about Biden’s record – thus welding herself to an unpopular president. She was Biden 2.0 with open borders, high prices and shoplifting.
Fatal political correctness
The country changed in 2024, and we Dems didn’t notice. Democrats annoyed voters with multiculturally sensitive, nondiscriminatory euphemisms. That appealed to college-educated white people – a minority of voters. Meanwhile, it irritated the majority of non-college-educated, low-paid voters.
Abortion was a winning issue for Democrats, but not when mothers were called “pregnant persons” or “birthing people.” The unnecessary use of pronouns – “he, him, his” — and labels like “cisgender” were highlights of wokeism that galled voters. Trump ads claimed, “Kamala’s agenda is they/them, not you.” Calling Latinos “LatinX” and calling Black people “BAME” and “BIPOC” (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) were infuriating euphemisms for voters.
The sensitive concept of “microaggressions” turned off voters assaulted with high rent, costly gas, expensive cereal and overpriced restaurants.
Trump spent more than $21 million on disgusting TV ads attacking Harris over her support of rights for transgender people and gender-affirming care – a message spewed during NFL games, college football broadcasts and in battleground states. However, only 1.6% of all Americans identify as trans, and they are not a voting bloc. Don’t get me wrong, my dentist is trans, my nephew is gay, and I’m not concerned with peoples’ gender identity.
My point is that we Dems must focus on kitchen-table issues, not correcting how people talk.
Campaign in terms that voters understand
Voters were unclear on what specific fixes Democrats would bring. Voters did not understand what the “infrastructure bill,” the “chips and science act” and the “inflation reduction act” were about.
What voters remembered were Trump videos about criminal migrants flooding across the border. (Biden clamped down on amnesty in December 2023, but that was way too late.) Voters heard about rampant shoplifting and retail theft – which equals crime – plaguing small businesses. Harris talked about “A new way forward,” but voters couldn’t describe it. Bidenomics was not working for voters.
Of course, Trump bloviated about mass deportations, cutting taxes, imposing tariffs, and eliminating the Department of Education (i.e., critical race theory). None of that is likely to happen, but at least it was specific.
How about Dems saying the following:
- We’ll slash the defense budget (20% of the US budget) by cutting sales of weapons for Israeli military actions ($17.9 billion in military aid) and negotiate for peace so we can cut $12.1 billion in military aid to Ukraine.
- Voters will get a $10,000 tax credit on gas-free cars (electric and hybrid) made anywhere. No need to buy gas.
- Dems will batter corporate monopolies with antitrust lawsuits, forcing Standard Oil, American Tobacco, US Steel, and AT&T to cut prices.
- Billionaires will have to pay their fair share of taxes — a 50% tax on all their income, regardless of where their tax-haven headquarters are. The IRS will focus on the 5 million people making over $250,000.
Stop meeting on Zoom!
Democratic Legislative Districts, clubs and counties are addicted to Zoom for their meetings, making it difficult to create new relationships. Meanwhile, Republicans have been meeting in person for years. Right-wingers network constantly. They have conferences like CPAC and Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Arizona. Democrats have none of these things.
Democrats must start to hold in-person organizational meetings, sponsor face-to-face happy hours, and have social gatherings in parks. Democrats yearn to return to face-to-face meetings where they meet people, exchange contact information and build their networks.
We should use these live events to listen to people’s kitchen-table issues. For people who don’t like to drive in Arizona’s dark nights, events can start at 3 pm. Attendees should get free t-shirts, coffee mugs and tote bags to advertise the party. Give out stickers with Trump’s face saying “I like high prices” on egg cartons.
In other words, put the “party” back in the Democratic Party.
Build our own Information ecosystem.
We must stop using the New York Times and Rachel Maddow to get our message out to elitist bicoastal urban bubbles. Republicans have Twitter, Truth Social, Joe Rogan and Fox News. They built their own media infrastructure as they were getting kicked off Twitter and Facebook.
The Democratic Party must have its own social network. Until then, we need to flood the zone on Facebook with 3.1 billion users, YouTube with 2.5 billion users, and Instagram and WhatsApp with 2 billion users each. Let’s get funky on TikTok. The party must develop bumper-sticker statements that make fools of the Republicans.
In addition, Democrats must take the fight to right-wing talk radio, TV and podcasts. It’s time to carefully prepare aggressive talking points and shout down the Republicans live on the air.
Campaign like Ruben Gallego
Senator Ruben Gallego won by 80,574 votes and dispatched two-time MAGA loser Kari Lake to Voice of America – in resurgent red Arizona, which Trump carried. How did he do that?
He did it by holding Mexican rodeos and town halls in Spanish that Latino men loved. He campaigned on the economic pain felt by Latinos from the pandemic and inflation. He spoke of his humble beginnings, being raised by a single mom and sleeping on the floor. Gallego empathized with the aspirations of working-class voters to succeed and persuaded them he would focus on fixing what was broken.
Gallego quietly left the Congressional Progressive Caucus during his Senate run, broke with Biden’s unpopular record on immigration and emphasized his four-year service as a veteran in Iraq.
“We took a very strong and direct approach at border security because we knew that the Latino community was also worried about border security,” he said.
In short, he moved to the middle – away from transgender issues, away from political correctness, away from progressive leftist positions. Sensing the shift among voters, Gallego focused on the cost of living and immigration.
Democrats can win in the mid-term election.
Trump will not deliver on his promises, creating an opportunity for Democrats in two years. Rather than talking about annexing Canada, Panama and Greenland, Democrats can talk about rebuilding the working class and making cars cost less. Rather than talking about revenge, Democrats can build allies with unions and organizations focused on affordable rent. Rather than fearmongering about immigrants, Democrats must meet in person and talk about increasing wages.
Democrats will get their message out not in the Atlantic or CNN but in Instagram and TikTok posts. We’ll also build our own network of podcasters and influencers. We will speak in plain, understandable words.
And we will listen to James Carville, who said, “It’s the Economy, Stupid.”
Also read Improving Voter Persuasion and Being Strong on Border Security is Key to Democrats’ Resurgence in 2026. The interview with Kate deGruyter of the Third Way highlights that the key election issues were:
- The cost of living
- Stopping the migrant inflow, the largest of its kind in US history, according to the NYT.
- Democrats are viewed as extreme. There are more conservatives in America than liberals.
- Americans are tuning out of mainstream political news.
- Dems need new leaders like Josh Shapiro, Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom, Wes Moore and Andy Beshear.

Can someone take a comment off of this blog, just asking , I can not find my comment, to Larry’s remarks,
Regards,
Andy Kunsberg
I found that most of this essay was an excellent analysis of why we lost the election, and what we need to do to regain power. But then it was completely undermined by that attacks on Israel and Ukraine. The average voter understands that false accusations like “Genocide” are from the far left of the party and only give comfort to Hamas’s continued war against Israel. (Just last week, the Biden folks said peace talks are being thwarted by Hamas, as they have repeatedly in he past. ) As far as Ukraine, the average voter understands that Putin should not benefit by his unlawful invasion of Ukraine. Given all the blood that Ukraine has shed, it is not for people like Mr. Bodine to preach to them to lay down their arms to Putin.
Larry,
As I am a person who supports Israel, your ignorance of what genocide is and the definition of what is going on in Israel, concerns me. I am disheartened by this rhetoric and yes giving in to Hamas is anti democratic. They kill gays, they kill their own people. How could you compare what is Israel is doing to true genocide like the Holocaust. The reason we lost the election was we catered to this craziness and did not address the real issues. The same people who support the protestors and Hamas, killed 15 people in New Orleans. Do you know how many bombs have been blasted towards Israel , and this is before Oct 7th, you can not take back your written words and it has been sealed what you think. I am so tired of this , we have problems here that need to be addressed. I know you and I am very disappointed. I am a Zionist, the hostages that have been brutalized need to come home. You need an intervention to what is really going on. Andy Kunsberg
Thank you for your heartfelt comment. I respect Israel’s right to defend itself.
That said, the war in Gaza needs to end. Every day I read about more bombings of hospitals and schools, and deaths of children. Israel has rightfully destroyed Hamas and Hezbollah and killed off its leaders. Good riddance. But Israel has taken the war to Syria, Iran, and Yemen. Gaza is a desolate, unlivable wasteland. The 10/7 massacre cannot be used to pursue war everywhere forever.
The time has come for a negotiated settlement. The US is investing $3.8 billion per year in the Israeli military, and America should use its influence to stop the killing.
Larry the hostages need to be freed, Hamas must stop bombing Israel. You are so wrong and what I say now will not change your mind. I ask you to apologize for the genocide comment, that is all.
Plus genocide is ethnic cleansing, so using the terminology is not correct, just saying.
Andy
Andy, I deleted “genocide” and changed it to “military actions.”
Interesting post and discussion going on here.
It’s too little too late, but it’s encouraging that die hard Democrat Larry Bodine finally admits the problem was Biden. Maybe other Democratic operatives will learn from this enormous mistake.
I haven’t much to add to what has already been said (especially by Sharpie) but what about Gaza?
Biden’s hypocrisy, begging Netanyahu for humanitarian aide and a ceasefire while bankrolling the slaughter and destruction, was not lost on many young voters. And Kamala Harris echoed the same position. How many young voters stayed home because of Gaza? We’ll never know. But young people do seem to have more interest in things such as the future of the planet than slaughtering human beings.
But it looks like these slaughters are here to stay, war is good for business.
For me personally, that is reason enough to change my voter registration to independent.
Happy New Year everyone.
Actually, while much of this is spot on, I believe that Democrats need to stop being the party of political *consultants. *
Lend an ear to actual voters, and when a candidate disagrees with one, look ’em in the eye when talking about the disagreement instead of using weasel words. Be genuine and honest.
And, with that, I’ve ticked off every lawyer who reads or writes here. 😀
Wrong! It had nothing to do with which pronoun someone prefers to be called or the price of eggs, it had to do with racism and misogyny. There are many men of all races who will never vote for a woman, and especially a woman of color, so maybe you’re not seeing the actual big picture when it comes to this election. It’s so ironic that Mexico can elect a woman president, but certain people in this country have issues when it comes to someone of another race becoming their president. Just look at how many white women voted for a sexual assaulter, serial cheater and all around disgusting “man”. I guess you should have a certain skin tone and gender to qualify for POTUS, qualifications and morals be damned.
Thanks, Larry. I trust most of us can find our way to the Straight Talk Express, climb aboard, and get up a head of steam as we start toward 2026.
Burn it down and start over.
There are lots of obstructionist Dems the DNC has supported over the years, it’s not just Manchin.
Stop doing that. We’re ceding ground.
Delete all the olds. I say this as an old. Us Boomers are hated, and I mean hated, by younger generations, for some good reasons.
OMG do they hate us. They do not wish us well to say the least. They will not come out for Dems if all they see is gray.
Schumer just left 12 judgeships for convicted rapist and felon Trump to fill, I have no idea why.
Pelosi’s stand on congress trading stocks is corrupt AF, and she just played hardball from her f’n hospital bed to keep AOC out of a position.
That’s going to come back and bite us RBG style any minute now.
The time for them both to leave town was years ago. F’ feelings.
Leave Biden in the dust. He was very, very unpopular. Again, f’ feelings, the future is a wee bit more important. R’s don’t worry about rehabing Bush’s rep, and they don’t even talk about Saint Ronnie anymore.
All that matters is tomorrow and the day after that.
Stop digging up James Carville, quoted above. He’s the guy who insulted women and trailer park VOTERS with his “drag a hundred dollar bill through a trailer park” comment while he defended rapey Bill Clinton.
Keep his boney ass in the backroom and never let him on TV again. He not only defended the indefensible, he took the wrong side against women.
To quote Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs, F’ that guy.
Delete Bill Clinton and his Wall Street owned wife. She endorses corporate dems. He endorses corporate dems, and somehow they’ve made over 100,000,000.00 dollars which I’m sure is all legit. Sure.
Nothing to see there.
And the R’s will never stop hauling out Clinton’s victims, making it hard for Dems to say we support women. I believe most of those women. Maybe all of them.
Learn from R’s and attack. They started attacking Hillary (for fake stuff, because the real stuff is stuff R’s like) years before she ran.
Dems should be running ads and demanding hearings and non-stop blasting MAGA for BS, calling out convicted rapist and felon Trump’s failed promises, and posting ever dollar he makes on his side hustle instead of working his F’n job.
Learn from Madison Avenue and stop saying stupid shit like Basket of Deplorables, whatever insulte Biden said against MAGA a few months ago, and stop talking like Harvard fuckwits.
R’s have the same “elite” school degrees but mock college elites and somehow no one fact checks them. People don’t like to be talked down to (ala Al Gore and his censorship loving wife).
Plus we all know half or more of those elite school folks got in by some pretty shady means to avoid having good grades in high school.
Stop running away from progressive policies like chickens who just saw the ax. The ACA is wildly popular but Dems ran away from it in 2010 and got “shellacked”.
And they deserved it for being pussies and caving to R’s. People like people who stand for things. I know MAGA’s who respect Bernie Sanders, with some actual reverence in their tone when they say it.
Stop running away from Single Payer. When it’s presented properly most American’s support it.
Use that FFS. It’s a good policy, stand up for it! It would help not just uninsured, it would boost the economy by keeping money out of Wall Street’s cocaine fueled noses and into working people’s hands.
When an R says we can’t do something, like Single Payer, stand up to their face and ask them why they think AMERICA can’t do what every other developed country can do.
Ask them why they have so little faith in America. Make them own that shit. Ask them why THEY hate Americans.
Evangelicals avoided politics until Falwell, they didn’t even care about Roe for years. Remind them daily what POS’s their leader and his family are, every hour on the hour, and make them own their hypocrisy. Stop running away from religious people, confront them. Shame them.
Maybe they’ll stay home next time
MAGA is already turning on itself. Remind them every hour on the hour of every promise the convicted rapist and felon breaks. Make them own their hypocrisy.
Maybe they’ll stay home next time. Overload them with their own BS.
If you can’t change their minds, give them that feeling of hopelessness Dems felt in November. If they think politicians are bad, make sure they know what their’s are up to.
One of the convicted rapist’s top campaign aides said their most effective ad was just Harris saying she wouldn’t do anything different from Biden.
OMG! People were miserable and right or wrong, felt like things weren’t going well. Their perception is all that mattered.
Saying things will stay the same…yikes. I like Harris, but fail!
Don’t say ‘people want change’, say ‘people are tired of the same old shit’.
There’s a difference and if you can’t tell don’t run an election. Don’t run the DNC.
Think long term. The Koch’s started in 1980 and it’s been paying off for years. If there’s an obstructionist Dem, primary that fucker. If they lose they lose, but keeping them around means we keep ceding ground to R’s.
Better to lose a battle here and there instead of the WHOLE FUCKING WAR. Think in historical terms.
Progressives have been ceding ground since Bill Clinton, who “ended welfare as we know it” and said “the era of big government is over”.
Sounds like Republican talking points and Clinton agrees with them, may as well vote R!
Honorable mention to Hillary Wall Street Clinton’s “super-predator” comments. I won’t use the seaward here.
Dumbass. Republican-lite gets votes for Republicans, not Dems, based on EVERYTHING THAT’S HAPPENED SINCE.
Words matter. Learn from Madison Avenue. We all have more stuff than we need and we all want more because Madison Avenue is good at its job.
Stop running from progressive policies. A lot of voters said they voted for the convicted rapist and felon because they wanted a change.
Republican-lite is not a change. Be different and be loud about it. Learn from Sanders in 2016, who until the DNC fucked him was on path to the White House and we’d be in a much different world.
Arguing that just makes you look like you’re about to lose another election.
Start saying “convicted rapist and felon” EVERY TIME YOU SAY HIS NAME, because it’s true. Repetition is your friend. Again, see Madison Avenue. Shame the press when they fail to do this.
There’s too much wrong with the party, this could go on for days. Losing to the convicted rapist and felon twice now means it’s broken beyond repair.
TL:DR – the Dems either need to stop being pussies or we need a new party, because for the next four years and beyond millions of people are going to suffer.
Gawddaaaaaamn it.
Oh, yeah, and stop scolding people for voting third party. Voting your morals is the job, not electing Dems, and based on the last 10+ years, and the next four, it sure looks like the wasted vote is for the Dem.
Make me regret that, please. Please.
The problem in a nutshell: When they lose the Repugs gather & plot how they can make Democratic governance fail. When Repugs win Democrats fall all over themselves to work with them. That crap needs to stop yesterday.
Another problem: In “Crashing the Gate” Markos Moulitsas relates a conversation with a Repug operative(?) who tells him “When our candidate loses we take the consultants out back and shoot them. You guys keep hiring the same ones over and over”. Could be mistaken but Democratic consultants get a cut of money paid for TV advertising which may be why the VP’s campaign’s outreach was mainly on the airwaves.
Yes! Stop working with Republicans, they lie and they gave up on win some lose some long ago.
They want to take away healthcare and Social Security and food from children, and even parents from children and children from parents, all while clutching bible’s they haven’t read and F’n praying and yapping about Christian Family Values.
You don’t work with people like that.
Dems – “Well, we won’t get everything we want in this bill”
R’s – “We’re shutting the whole fucking thing down!”
And another YES! Fire the entire DNC and start over.
Losing not just to a convicted rapist and felon, but to the least popular POTUS in modern history, TWICE, is 100% on them.
And burn down their houses and then make their families pay for the matches bullets, China style.
And please, stop saying we lost on “identity politics”.
Who ran on that? No one! That’s a right wing talking point FFS.
Stop letting bigots and liars dictate the discourse. Stop reacting to Faux News.
When a MAGA starts yapping about identity politics, say “I support everyone’s rights, including yours, but we’re here to talk about INSERT VERY IMPORTANT TOPIC”.
Knock that creep back on his/her/they’s heels. Control the narrative FFS.
People react to people who own their convictions, cowing ain’t that.
I just watched a video where the point was Dems no longer think of us as “members” of the party, we’re customers.
Back in the day, there were union halls and legion halls and churches where people met IRL. Politicians would visit not just to get your vote, to get the approval of the group.
You can find an NRA meeting just about anywhere, and back in the day there were actual Tea Party’s in my neighborhood.
For Dems it’s “how much can you give” and not “here’s how to organize”.
Pretty much what Larry Bodine says about Zoom calls.
I think there’s some signs that people are starting to get tired of digital life and want to be around other humans anyway.
I think we all have trauma, we’re in shock that America did this, twice, and a lot of us have Secondary Trauma, meaning we’re horrified by what’s going to happen to other people.
You start fixing things by confronting the cause of your trauma, which is CLEARLY the DNC.
“Fire the entire DNC and start over.”
Don’t forget the DCCC & DSCC. Seems they back Conservadems, i.e. Repug Lite, and if a Progressive wins the primary those two pack their bags and leave town. Obeisance to their wealthy & corporate donors?
It matters almost as much WHO the messengers are as WHAT the message is. We need to retire all the fogey folks – especially the consultants who give the same advice again and again, and who have lost and lost and lost elections for us. We need more of our leaders to be younger, more diverse, and especially more working- and middle-class. We do not cover ourselves in glory by denying leadership roles to folks like AOC, especially if the motive for doing so is to appear less ‘woke’ or ‘PC’ in our public messaging.
I agree with much of the sentiments Larry writes here, but we have to hold firm to our core values of inclusivity, respect for difference, and awareness of historic and current injustice and discrimination, despite deprecating those issues in our public messaging. We needn’t – and shouldn’t – make ‘wokeness’ our rallying cry or message, but we should never disavow those commitments, nor abandon public policies and legislation which advance those values. Becoming less publicly ‘woke’ should never mean BECOMING less woke.
Of course, the opposition will call us hypocrites and continue to attack us on that vector, but they will do that despite anything we actually do or say. There is a cost for being progressive and trying to change a toxic and damaging culture of white supremacy, male chauvinism, and Christian bigotry – it couldn’t possibly be otherwise. If the reactionary right stop attacking us for advancing tolerance, equality, historical truth, and inclusion, we had better take a good long hard look at ourselves.
Thank you for this much-needed analysis. I have always admired Larry Bodine for his courage, brilliant thought process, and directness. These are trades that most of the Democratic machine does not particularly embrace. Unless we Democrats decide we have to rectify our blind steadfast adherance to ” PC” attitudes such as: “WHEN THEY GO LOW WE GO HIGH”, and continue to elect candidates owned by AIPAC and Wall ST, we will continue to lose elections. Returning to Democracy will be harder to achieve with each passing election loss. Thank you LARRY BODINE for writing this piece.
I don’t think Sen. Gallego was a big win. Sure, he won by 80.000+ but against Lake. 50% to Lakes 47.7% but this was against a weak and well disliked Candidate. What Dems have to worry about is the next Governor’s race where Hobbs only won by 50.3% to Lakes’ 49.6%. If Karrin Robson decides to run again she has a good chance of winning against Hobbs. When Robson ran the Republican primary Lake got 48% and Robson 43%. But there were three other Republicans also running and they got a total of 8.90%. If Robson runs again and no other Republicans are running in the primary Robson should win the primary and probably win easily since Hobbs only won by .70% against Lake. Not by any means a landslide.
This is absolutely on point. Democrats from bottom to top need to start now meeting with constituents at every level in every state and start asking what concerns them in their daily lives. Nothing wrong with NYT, CNN and MSNBC but need to meet everyone where they are, including social media and in person events.
I’m not sure about Tik Tok and Facebook, but much of what Larry says is refreshing and encouraging to me. I became an Independent this year out of frustration with the Dems’ failing to distance themselves from “political correctness,” instead dismissing it as a chimera created by the opposition. Becoming more inclusive is a worthy and important goal for our society, but treating people who object to some of the means employed to do so with downright contempt was offensive and ultimately self-defeating. Becoming more inclusive shouldn’t require demonizing those who have traditionally been included.
Among other things, Biden et al never told us where the “infrastructure ” money went. For example, I do not know of a single $ spent in Southern Arizona and was unable give out any examples to those who asked.
Your comment about in person meetings is right on. As a volunteer without personal connections in the party, I learned more from the 2 other volunteers that I worked with than from at least 10 zoom meetings.
Corny as it may be , giveaways make a difference. Not many voter stopped at the table at I volunteered at each week , but the minute we had cat lady Harris buttons, everyone wanted them.
You are truly clueless about why people rejected the Democrat’s political wokeness. While your obsession with pronouns was laughable, people really objected to biological males in girls’ school locker rooms and biological males stealing trophies ands scholarships from coeds. Yet your post seems to suggest that you are not reversing those woke policies. Good luck next election.
Also, defunding the military in these dangerous times will get you about as far as defunding the police did.
With AOC and Pete Budajudge as your heroes, I look forward to at least 12 years of Republican presidents in Washington DC.
These are all right wing talking points.
The left did not make any of these their main focus, Fox News and the angertainmant industry did, and that’s where John Government Checks Kavanagh, obviously proud of his Trump University Degree, is getting his “information”.
Or maybe from Prager U. LOL.
Perhaps he could tell us all what “woke” means? Or maybe fact check any of the other tasty leaves from his word salad?
He can’t, and I know this because his post is filled with “laughable” nonsense that would make Tucker “Tan My Manly Balls” Carlson proud.
Although Tucker did warn us about the Gypsy invasion of America (true story) or how he was attacked by an actual demon while in bed with his wife.
Or maybe the cancer the convicted rapist and felon he worships says you get from windmills (pity those poor, poor Dutch!) has gotten to his very smooth brain.
Cons, not conservatives, they don’t exist anymore, they’re all cons, always “just say things” but can NEVER back them up.
And wow, he sure does spend a lot of time thinking about penis stuff.
I mean, he never talks about boob jobs or Brazilian Butt Lifts or vaginal rejuvination.
Just the penis stuff.
Interesting, where his mind is always at, ain’t it?
Every Democrat in the Arizona House and Arizona Senate voted against my bill that would require same biological sex-only students in school showers. Sounds like a Democrat focused issue to me.
Do you really think that the parents of high school freshman who are female want them standing next to someone who is a biological male that identifies as female naked in a shower?
They voted against “your” bill, John Government Checks Kavanagh.
So that’s “your” issue.
By definition your bill.
Your issue. It’s literally in the sentence you just wrote.
No dem ran on your issue.
You’re the one who keeps bringing it up.
Good lord you’re an idiot.
Worry about your own dick you creepy old perv.
Johnny Boy, your obsession with other people’s genitalia in the restroom makes you the pervert. You should accept your perversion and preemptively register to get on the sex offender’s list.
Massacring someone’s name as a way of showing disrespect to that person is infantile.
At best.
I may thoroughly disagree with his policies and behavior, but I’ve never mispronounced or misspelled Trump’s name. I will just refer to him by the nickname “Cheeto”, but that’s not massacring his given name.
No one understands your obsession with bathrooms and trans people. This is such a minute number of people. It appears trans are just straw dogs for people of color you can’t obsess with directly, and your longing for resegregation. And its laughable that Repubs and Trump care one iota about the average person. Trump ran again to stay out of prison and Repubs care only about making sure every rich person, especially billionaires gets more and that every average person pays the price. But your crew seems perfectly fine with defunding Ukraine and delivering Europe to Putin’s thugs. Maybe because you long for a one party dictatorship yourself. What your crew is really afraid of is reality. That’s why you spew lies endlessly.
Talk about demonizing the opposition. When did you become a mind reader?
@ Sen. Kavanagh –
Who needs to read the mind of someone with a legislative track record like yours?
