Switched to Fox News to see what the conversation for that half of America and the first thing I heard was “Unlike the BLM protests there’s no vandalism other than the breaking into the Capitol” and I confess to screaming out loud.

I've said this before but let me clear: to judge the risk of COVID-19 solely by the mortality rate is, at this point, a form of willful ignorance. The long-term affects of covid on the lungs is still unknown--but first cuts of the data show that they could be significant 1/-

When people say that generating losses for democratic candidates moves the country to the left I truly want to scream. The Reagan and Bush Sr. years *created* the hyper centrist Democratic Party we have today. Like truly read ANY book.
where is the historical evidence that punishing a democrat with a loss creates more space for the left?

If you don't understand this by this point the only responsibile policy response is to assume you never will and to restrict your movement accordingly for the well-being of the general public. That's the decision facing leaders now.
