I am neither a progressive nor a conservative. I can’t call myself a centrist either. That makes me a floater. Please show me the details — I will travel from one end of the political spectrum to any location on short notice.

In the current environment, I find more policy proposals on the left helping Americans. The Republican party is all about restricting and redistricting. Restrict abortions, restrict voting and restrict vaccines. Democrats want to tax the corporations and redirect money to lower and middle-income families.

I did not break my head to make a choice.

The democratic infrastructure bill has the potential to transform the country. Ahh, a bombastic statement from a blogger with an agenda. Sorry, not true. Please don’t take my words for it. Take it from the Oil and Gas lobby.

Carrots for the man holding the infrastructure bill hostage and sticks for the woman supporting the bill. If the democratic infrastructure bill weren’t transformative, the Oil and Gas industry wouldn’t be dropping millions of dollars to derail the bill.
