@darlenemartinez384last year As a Wisconsinite I can tell you first hand that this past winter was not usual and totally sucked. We may not warm up as much as Africa but we are warming and being next to Lake Superior trust me when I say….warming is not a good thing. When the lake doesn’t freeze over we get massive amounts of snow. We rarely see flooding in my part of Wisconsin but thanks to all that snow melting it’s not been fun. I did not vote for him and I can’t believe that anyone voted for him. And yet they did. ... 156

@nounverbnounlast year When sociopathy is normalized and rewarded by a society and economic system. 20
@

@vintagelady1last year And the only people who matter are the ones who look like me & can vote for me. There is a difference between representing your constituents and being a self-centered pig (apologies to pigs). Ron Johnson is way over that line. ... 8

@

@Watcher40K9last year If Ron were ever in WI during the winter, then he would know how terrible things have gotten. We've had multiple deadly polar vortexes over the last several years! It's been warmer in the Artic-freaking-Circle! 🥶 3

@

@michaelgorham2100last year If anyone wants to know what the key difference between Conservatives is vs Liberals, this is it: Self Interest vs Public Interest. Conservatives only ask "How does this affect ME?" Liberals ask "How does this affect AllOf Us?" ... 4
