Hey Dems are you too far Left? [View all]

Last edited Sat Sep 28, 2024, 10:56 AM - Edit history (1)

I voted for Rebecca Cooke over Katrina Shankland and like her position against Van Orden for WI U.S. Rep. BBBbbbbuuuut, I am disturbed by her ad that Dems are too far left as some Republicans are too far right.

I respectfully disagree Becca. What positions do Dems hold as too extreme?

-- We Dems do not call for open borders.
-- Yes, we protect transexuals and if transitioned, they may participate in sports of their choice.
-- Dem administrations are more effective at helping businesses prosper, and national debt and deficits decline.
-- Better at health care distribution.

This is where I think Cooke finds fault and that is taxing those who can afford it, so is this what she means? If so that's a bad look and who then is backing you?

Republicans are absolutely extreme, even compared to a few decades ago they are miles into insanity rightward. Dems, on the other hand, have not moved!

I signed disappointed in you and get rid of that ad.
