    In fairness before she was the nominee could you speak to her voting record without google?

    I doubt it unless you had a secret boy crush on her.

    Nope. But I wasn’t the one passionately saying her issues were so far left she was too liberal for democrats nor did I provide vague examples that were easily disproved with a google search.

    I was a registered republican until 2016. Romney was the last one. 4 Pubs and 4 Dems is my voting record.

    I'm glad I checked your post out because I came here to post these great American woman of color and who they will be voting for in November. Women NOT FOR KAMALA... They are voting for Donald Trump.

    Maybe so but they represent a very small percentage of Black women who will be voting in November. In fact, Trump may have managed to flip white women who still cast a majority of their votes for him in 2016 and 2020 to the Dems thanks to the overturning of Roe v. Wade. According to recent polls the gender gap has now become the equivalent of a gender Grand Canyon.

    Maybe the bill doesn’t “abolish” private ins but it essentially makes it go away for all intents and purposes.

    Pretty much a battle of semantics.

    Since I’ve been a registered NPA since 1992, I guess that makes me a man without a party.

    I had a typo in my post which I have since edited, for clarification it should have said “aren’t beholden to a party”.

    Not sure if it was her issues were too far left but she was at the bottom of the barrel in 2020 in the Dem primaries.
    I’ll let those who did or didn’t vote for her then speak to that.

    Curious why you Biden tapped her as VP in 2020?

    She also had one of the most far left voting records in the senate by many measures.

    JD Vance was unheard of and was picked for VP. Pence didn’t finish second to Trump running for Pres.

    Her voting record is typical for a democrat. The site that called her far left was because she didn’t sponsor many bipartisan bills. She instead worked on universal healthcare. That’s basically the whole analysis.

    No way to prove this but based on your posting here I find it tough to believe you voted for Romney over Obama.

    You were quite the Biden boy here until the debate where thankfully you opened your eyes. It was hard not to after that spectacle but I’ll give you some credit then. You did call for him to vanish which he has pretty much done.

    Yeah Vance was unheard of (to some) but he isn’t running for POTUS right now.

    I’m basing my comment on when she ran for the Dem Nomination, they really didn’t care for her much at ALL.

    Like I said she’s getting the love because the Dems have to at this point.

    In a typical race she wouldn’t get 30% of the Dem vote.

    Quite the crap burger we got handed by BOTH parties.

    Yes our southern border has been open for 250 plus years but we only.had a US population that was 1% Hispanic 6 decades ago
    You can't have a welfare state with open borders and the promise of amnesty and citizenship


    Yes we have plenty.of food now but is it safe or full of harmful chemicals
    The greater the US population the greater the been for harmful chemicals that cause cancer, damage immune systems and pollute our water supply. We need to protect.our soil.

    The.largest aquifer is the Ogallala (Hogh plains) aquifer that some calculate will be 70% depleted in 50 years. It supplies drinking water and irrigation to 9 states.

    The US has ÷130 desalination.plants (not 1900). They will have to be powered with nuclear power. The rehion.of Africa that has supplied us with uranium wants the US and France to leave Africa (thanks neocons). Russia is moving in to electrify central and West Africa with nuclear power

    Deslination.plants harm the environment by returning very salty water to the ocean.

    More people in our country means more plastics pollution and other pollutants that cause cancer and have estrogen-like effects (shrinking genitalis,l.

    Fewer people in our country puts us on a more sustainable path

    From 1942 through 1964, The Bracero Program brought in, legally, more than 4.5 million Mexicans into the US. After this program ended, the status at the border was let workers through, as their labor was needed. This dismayed the likes of persons like Cesar Chavez, who was worried new immigrants would take the jobs of the Braceros and their children, who were again, here legally and/or born US citizens. Chavez however, was wrong. The Bracero children were educated in US schools and flourished, and became middle class, never working the fields like their parents.

    Reagan in 1986 also granted amnesty to many previously undocumented immigrants. Listen to Reagan or Bush Sr. speak about these immigrants back in the day. They weren't criminal thugs. They were hard working people here seeking the American dream, and we should grant them the ability to pursue it.

    We have over 1700 desalination plants in the US, but currently, only about 200 are in use. A big part of the issue is desal water is more expensive. But much like the oil shale in the Permian Basin was too expensive to mine for in the 1980s, rising prices of other oil sources plus better tech meant the Basin was going to be mined for oil eventually. Today, the Basin accounts for about 45% of our oil. One day, we'll have better tech and higher water prices for non desal water that will make desal water more palatable.

    As for food, we produce plenty already. And if people are starving in C. America, but we have plenty, guess what is going to happen? These people are going to come to America. It's what's been happening for generations. And regardless, whether or not these people remain in their home country or come here, they still need to eat.

    Bottom line is we need a better program to better legally fill demand of needed labor with supply. Twice bipartisan committees recommended this kind of program.

    As for environmental concerns, unless you plan to build a dome around the US and put armed guards around the entire country, what happens to our neighbors effects us.
