My opponent

Earlier tonight, I joined my opponent in a candidate forum.Friends,  I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating: My opponent is so extreme that I generally don’t believe in giving his offensive ideas free exposure (or subjecting my supporters to them!).  More often than not, his fringe ideology i…

What we mean when we talk about “extremists” in politics

The thing about JD Vance that ‘disorients and really disturbs’ me

This guy is absolutely obsessed with what women do with our bodies.
