The Bryce Is Right
About a year and a half ago, I stumbled on the Young Turks on Youtube (not hard to do, since they're kind of all over the place) talking about the XL pipeline, which was something I hadn't really heard about anywhere else. And I was shocked at what they were showing (the police and the protesters), and I got hooked. Because I mostly agree with them. I like how passionate Cenk gets about everything, and I find myself agreeing with him most of the time. We're equally cynical.
Well, anyway, watching that show makes me pay attention a little more closely to what's happening - also really impossible these days with Trump doing his thing and the chaos that has erupted all over the country. And I was like, "Paul Ryan is so frustrating. Why is he so powerful? Who elected him anyway?" Oh, guess what, my district in Wisconsin is RESPONSIBLE for that.
Randy Bryce is a JUSTICE DEMOCRAT running against him, and I'm all in. I know there are really complicated political issues that most of us can't agree on, but there is so much more going on right now that fundamentally challenges our system of government that I can't help but get involved. I'm beyond caring if I make people angry (not family, but just...you know, people). I'm supporting him because of the people that live around here, who don't realize that they're giving their rights away.
Anyway, that's the soapbox. I like the t-shirt. It's funny.
I also got this one:
Oh, in Illinois, there's a Justice Democrat running for governor - Daniel Biss. Really like him. He's cool. And there are Justice Democrats running all over the country. Their big thing is Medicare For All, gun control, and NO CORPORATE FINANCING IN ELECTIONS. Woot.
