I need a life away from politics for the next four years. My sanity depends on it.

I wanted that game so much when I was a kid! It was too expensive so I never got one.

Thank you. I will always vote. And knowing me, in 6 months I'll get drawn back in. It's my nature and the nature of my friends. We remember the days before abortion and before we had full rights. For now, a rest and heal period. Keep fighting, good will always win in the end! βœŠβœŒοΈπŸ’™

During the 1st term I ended up hospitalized for my own safety. I'm nearly 70, I can't let him take 4 more of my dwindling years. I've been fighting since I was a teen; the young are going to have to take over now. My 1st was for Jimmy Carter, I hope my last one is for someone just as admirable.

The Contrarian is not in the business of accommodating the interests of corporations or authoritarians. We're in the business of supporting a free pressβ€”unencumbered by billionaire interference.

I hope they get what they voted for. Which is not the same thing as what they wanted.

They think they have recruiting problems now? Wait until they start driving women away. I was in the AF in the late 70s. I got out after my first term because my growth options were limited. Women now won't be willing to waste 4 years, nor chance being stationed where their rights are restricted.

Young men aren't known for being fast learners. They'll grow up after they get burned a few times. My sympathy tank is empty.
