RFK Jr. is a lunatic conspiracy theorist empowered by Trump and the Republican Party. His policy decisions will result in the DEATH of hundreds of thousands if not millions of children. The country I love and proudly served is being destroyed from within! WTF? open.substack.com/pub/epiellie...

you have to wonder - don't these men have wives and children to come home to? what do they say to them?

I'm actually working on a video essay rn about campaign finance and how the system creates hurdles for working people who want to run for office! That's why we need reform. We need to overturn the Citizens United decision, enact ranked-choice voting everywhere, and get dark money out of politics.
