Sighing . . . What if Tommy Raskin had lived.
He was within two years of Charlie Kirk.
Tommy Raskin going out to enthrall non-MAGA youth as a counterbalance to Charlie Kirk.
The country could have had someone to take on the bigotry, misogyny, and hatred.
Yes, Tommy Raskin might have been the one assassinated. But the hatred would have been addressed and challenged with logic and empathy and compassion.
Another missed opportunity.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
