The Coalition of self serving hypocrites do not care about you or your family A vote for them is a vote for the billionaire class, & for hungry children, for economic & climate destruction What’s so appealing? Their racism? Their bigotry? You’d only vote these blokes if you wanted to hurt others

Congressman Chris Deluzio@deluzio.house.gov · 2d agoI’m not going to take a lecture on fiscal responsibility from war hawks or corporate politicians in Washington. For years, they’ve jacked up our debt sending American kids to fight in unnecessary wars we don't have to fight and handing tax giveaways to the rich and powerful.
I was very surprised Stuff actually printed an actual column saying things like “maybe men should, for our own good, look past politicians who most accurately resemble our high school bullies” but here we are and this is worth a read - and maybe stick it under the nose of your fellow dudes, dudes.
