Oh, you are one of the lucky few, that the Democrats Gerrymandered into the left side of the Bay and into the 1st district.
Well I won't vote for Harris for sure, as to wither I'll FOR for his opponent that's still up in the air. There are a couple of 3rd and 4th options or I'll leave the boxes blank.
Not voting FOR Democrats is my only protest and revenge for the way Democrats have "cheated" the redistricting of this state to their advantage when they already have a 2 to 1 numerical advantage. If you can't win with that advantage maybe they should not put up such crappy candidates.
I'm not excited about my options but in the "Anybody but Harris" camp... Yeah I can dig it.

Freedom has it's costs. What yours worth in dollars? What is a Ukrainian's worth? Is it not worth the same as yours? What are your relatives lives worth? More or less than a Ukrainian child killed in an artillery barrage on the way to school?
Ukraine is free to fight the war as long as they want but they're not entitled to unlimited amounts of your tax dollars or mine. A lot of people in Palestine are yearning for freedom too but I don't see the same level of urgency or financial support for them... And your not entitled to decide for the rest of us or the Ukrainians, Thank God. Whats happening in Palestine is not good, in fact it's bad. But whats' going there is not an extermination done on a scale rarely seen since Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and the Japanese in China and the Chinese in China today.

Putin is about to be defeated. And all we had to do was help a country with $$$ the feds would have wasted somewhere else. Just like Bashar Assad was about to be deposed 10 years ago. Where is he today? Still in power. Sadly, I think we’re still in the beginning of a long war in Ukraine. One which I don’t think we should commit to spending a trillion on … Yeah. This looks like a country winning a war news.un.org/en/story/2022/09/1128091 |

I will definitely vote against Rep. Andy Harris but it has nothing to do with Ukraine war aid. (I'm in his district) Oh, you are one of the lucky few, that the Democrats Gerrymandered into the left side of the Bay and into the 1st district.

You obviously don't live in Harford County where if you aren't a good ole boy Republican you can't even get a job with the government as a pencil pusher.

If you want to eliminate partisan gerrymandering you vote D for congress. The Ds in Congress have proposed legislation to address this a couple times but the Rs routinely block it. |

Is pre-WW2 history even taught in our schools anymore? Gender studies - Yes. Using the correct pronouns - Yes. White privilege - Yes. Oppression of Blacks - Yes. But pre-WW2 history? C'mon, man. Here ya gone. This is from my neighborhood. Feel free to add your own and point out the subjects you claim are being taught. www.pghschools.org/course-catalogThere are 13,800 public school districts in the U.S. I'm sure they all follow the Pittsburgh curriculum. Click on any state(s) to see how wide spread the teaching of CRT is.

I wouldn't know since I don't have kids. But if I did, I am pretty sure that I would be making a bigger noise about that then worrying about the ghost that you seem to harbor underneath your bed. First vampires. Now ghosts. What's next? Werewolves in Woodlawn? You really are hung up on the supernatural.

I clicked 4 states randomly. None had any info on specific school districts teaching CRT. I wonder why that is? Nice objective source too. You crack me up. |

Also, your claim that WW2 (modern American history) isn't taught in schools. Prove it. |

It’s amazing how the use of Nazi symbolism by a major American political party is brushed aside/ignored by certain persons.
