Vote Democrat for so many reasons

Echo opinion letter published in the South Bend Tribune, in Indiana:

Midterm 2022, elections #VoteBlue

In early November we have the first midterm elections following the previous president’s term. Those four years were the most divisive and damaging led by a person who showed incompetence during COVID, costing hundreds of thousand lives, diminished respect by our allies and providing untruths on a daily basis. The news over the past year reflects tRumpziism behavior. His party members wrongly continued to support him and twice denied impeachment. 

Thankfully, this has been followed by a leader who placed global warming as a major priority, reunited NATO, renewed respect for the USA and is updating our infrastructure; most of this with only 50 Senate votes.

This election is a choice of continuing progressive changes; lower medical and drug costs, low unemployment, fewer children in poverty and better health care choices for women. 

Regressive candidates, including (Indiana GOP) Rudy Yakym, have a party platform to vote no for progressive bills. Because of their no votes, we continue to be able to purchase weapons of war, not a second amendment protection, and have strong restrictions on pregnant women’s health both of which will lead to more people dying. This is not a “right to life” party. Think of our country, not political affiliation, when voting in November. #VoteBlue
