"We can't give into the idea that the federal Congress has no role in this

matter," Wait, wait, wait. This from the republicans who have been screaming about abortion being decided by the states? Can these people ever make up their fucking minds? JD Vance is an absolute imbecile. Harvard or no Harvard.

I don’t know how Vance ever got elected. Would you vote for someone who trashed his/your whole region as inbred and mentally deficient? I sure wouldn’t. Yeesh!

Carol, I’m so angry that the DNC left a fine candidate as Tim Ryan in a lurch. JD Vance is snake oil salesman and punk. Harvard’s standards of academic integrity has left much to be desired and lessened greatly from their once ivory towers now soot blacked and decrepit with corruption.

I agree. I can’t stand Vance! He was invited to speak at UC Davis a few years ago and I wrote an LTE in protest. We wouldn’t even consider welcoming a speaker who would trash African-Americans, Asian, or Latino/a people. Why is it ok for someone to trash Appalachians? Nothing changed, of course, but maybe a few people went “Hmmm.”

It's a big assumption that the people who voted for him can read.
