    It can't be said enough: so many ppl don't have enough money to pay rent, to pay for food, to pay for medicine, to pay for clothes for their kids, to pay the bills for their family. The list goes on. The failure to provide money for people when they are most in need is abhorrent.

        Sometimes the reality of these things can get lost in the context of electoral politics, especially this close to an election but folks across this country are really really struggling. Being forced to make impossible choices about how to conserve whatever money they have left.

        Millions of people have lost their jobs. Millions of people have lost their insurance. Millions of people are trying to do the best they can to keep people their families and communities safe, secure, and stable amid a series of devastating and cascading crises. It's all so much.

        He just lost 3 male votes from my family. He didn’t have mine anyway. If nothing else he should think about the voters he will lose

        Indiana started early voting today and most of us don't have a mail-in option. I was misty over how hard people's lives are. They're masked-up poor, not working, old, sick, waiting in a 2-hour line with canes. I came back to THIS news and I hope they all pull D's. It has to stop.

        Playing around with people’s lives because he hates the majority of the country. And he’ll still have his base - doesn’t matter what he does, the blatant racism is what they latch on to.
