If a Republican congressman refuses to hold a town hall, then a Democratic challenger should do so

A perfect opportunity to reach out to passionate voters. Hear their concerns and start campaigning early.

But, who am I? I'm not some highly paid Democratic party consultant who thinks that buying ads is the only way to campaign.

Am I old? Or was music better in my youth? (1970s-1980s)

I'm trying to be objective here, but I objectively think that music from the 1970s and 80s is simply better than today. Heck, music from the 90s was better.

Or am I becoming an old fart?

I'm a Liberal, but I am objective and open to change my opinions based on data

For example, if tax cuts to the wealthy really was beneficial to the middle class and you had the data to really show that it does, I would be for tax cuts for the wealthy.

If there really was evidence that climate change was wrong, I would question it.

If de-regulations were good for the economy, I would be for it.

IOW, I don't come to my opinions based on conjecture, nostalgia for the past, racial pride, gender pride, etc. I am a Liberal because the evidence is on my side.
