Folks ignore the 👺trolls🤢
Register And Vote Blue!
Thank you 😊.
Michael Squires Blindly voting for a color is the exact reason our founding fathers believed political parties would be a disaster.
@shav12 Vote against every Republican, in every single election, for the rest of your lives.
Tessmage Tessera If you think Democrats are any better than Republicans then I feel sorry for you.
No thanks, I enjoy my freedoms.
Umm say what?
Joe Kennedy is a Progressive? 😆😂😆
Sure he’s a Liberal Democrat… but that is NOT same as PROGRESSIVE!
Ed Markey is a Progressive.
Also battle inside Democratic Party isn’t about Old vs New… it’s about Establishment Corporatists vs Insurgent Progressives. Joe Kennedy is NOT an insurgent progressive.
Exactly! Joe Kennedy is definitely not a progressive!
Wake the states up that have the Senate seats in play. That is the real goal here. Moscow Mitch holds all the keys. Get out the vote there.
a. barker : They will in Kentucky. They’ll vote against the democrat / liberal agenda they are looking at right now. The same will be here in Indiana.
@Gary Campbell then you are the dumbest person on Earth. Because McConnel has done nothing for Kentuckians in the last 12 years.
a. barker : Are you from Kentucky and know that first hand ?
Actors lol. They’re pedophiles and rapists. No thank you
Not one Trump supporter in America is buying into the Washington Post whistleblower fake news BS
Christopher Melick : Lol. No wonder Trump’s going to be re elected.
@Gary Campbell
The race as always is each family’s economics and the ability to put food on the table.
If familys are fiscally struggling under this curent administration, then Trump’s chances diminishes.
If by the general everyone feels that they are economically stable and the future look bright, they will relect the current administration.
Its always been about the economy and prosperity for the middle class.
Mario Lopez : While I agree with you that is true, family economics are always an issue. However, when does one take personal responsibility for the economic situation you are in. If a person quit school, has no job training, or no skills ? Their economic situation is always going to be bleak, no matter what the economy is like. Now fast food workers want $15/hr. Around me, McDonalds has now went to touch screens to order, and in the process eliminated jobs. McDonalds was never meant to be a career, unless you are management, and many of those have business degrees. Also, around me hot topics are border security (wanting the wall finished), Christian rights, upholding the 2nd amendment, and taxes.
@Gary Campbell
After the last economic downturn our middle-class took a beating.
They are now just getting their heads above water.
Higher education enrollment is slowly increasing, not as it was pre 2008.
Those that can realize education is an important tool for their arsenal.
They (middle-class) are still very fearful and are less trustworthy of whomever gets elected.
They want guarantees for their economic future so that they don’t have to work at a minimum wage job and constantly worry about their future and the futures of their children.
Mario Lopez : I hear what you’re saying. I was a middle school math teacher (retired now). It is always worrysome when you have kids, as I did. People that think teachers get summers off ? I spent many of those summers working a 2nd job, just to have a few extras. However, I don’t think any govt can give you a guarantee on the ecomomic situation at the time. I worked full time and went to college both. I just see too many people who do not want to put in the effort and swallow their pride for success down the road.
Joe Kennedy is out of touch and he is proof of dynasty privilege.
Young people are so focused on the famous nowadays that this could really increase voter awareness and participation.
Nobody figured Trump out yet that’s problem he plays a game calledTEGUAR once you figure out this game you know exactly what he’s doing
If MSNBCannibals call it grassroots , It’s really something like George Soros funded paid shill group out to terrorize the American people with some BS to push a MSNBCannibalHolocaust agenda off on Americans wrapped in political correctness
*Vote against every Republican, in every single election, for the rest of your lives.*
No thank you. I very much enjoy my freedoms.
Inez Qtaish see six birds flying away I see a airplane in the sky
guy has been a senator since 1976 time for change
If the people made a choice but yet the government chose trump why should you keep playing a game you can never win
Joe Kennedy is certainly wealthy and he will be Progressive
YOU HAD BETTER HOPE THEY TURN OUT !! OR IT’S GONNA BE CURTAINS FOR THE DEM DUMMIES !! TRUMP JUST SURPASSED OBAMA’S APPROVAL RATING !! 😁🇺🇸
MSNBS , YOU DUMMIES !! 🐴
People get out and vote. Help your neighbours who are impacted by transport issues especially the elderly and disabled. In the south where polling stations have been closed help those affected to get to booths in neighbouring towns where they can place their vote. It’s the only way to give them the middle finger against the rigged system.
Folks ignore the trolls and register to vote.
Vote RED 💯❤💕💞🇺🇸🇺🇸
I’m struggling to see what good Kennedy’s election will do when his opponent is a Democrat.
