In reply to the discussion: Biden campaign confirms he supports controversial abortion rule: report [View all]JustAnotherGen
(38,081 posts)1. I agree with him
I don't want anything to upset the apple cart in my state. Murphy, the Assembly, and the Senate are focused on expanding health care and protecting the right to abort in our state. I don't want 'regressives' in Mississippi having the tiniest sliver of opportunity to tell us what to do with our money.
We are nothing like them, never will be, they can come together with us in 2020 (they won't) -
But the Mississippi State flag will still not be flown in Liberty State Park.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Okay, so are you a single issue voter when it comes to whether or not we should nuke Canada?

I guess Biden's confidence in Republicans working with him as president goes only so far, eh?

You're working really hard to make Biden's position on Hyde a practical one. Why?
