I consider 'NC' my home state...I voted for Sen Sam back in the day.

So sad to see what the Racist rethugs are doing to this state now.

In my experience it started with the rise of the Young Republican's Club on campus at UNC/CH in the mid 1970's which morphed into the Koch family buying the University and turning into a shell of what it once was. The liberal influence of Hippy Hill is no longer in operation and the RW nutjobs are having a field day.

Jesse Helms and the Moral Majority ruined the state - it is showing signs of recovery but until Dem politicians learn to keep their married penis in their pants things will not change.

I am inclined to agree with the OP DFW Sep 2021 #15
Yes. This is the kind of pressure to put on Joe & K - make them irrelevant and their egos will sing. Tommymac Sep 2021 #17
Manchin and Sinema will vote for it Buckeyeblue Sep 2021 #18

I agree it will be difficult...I think Toomey could be swayed. Tommymac Sep 2021 #20
