[Peace-discuss] Don't send a Democrat to the House

[Carl G. Estabrook]

Mort--

I have no brief for Davis. (The way to prevent abortion includes providing single-payer healthcare, child allowances, housing & education - not just unfunding it.)

How do you stand on my real (not rhetorical) question: "Which is more likely to hesitate at Deep State war-mongering, a Republican House, or a Democratic one?”

On war issues, I don’t think the Democratic party should be given control of the House.

So I‘ll vote in the most effective way to discourage the election of a Democrat in the 13th IL CD.

That means voting for the Republican candidate, rather than abstaining. —CGE

Korea, Ukraine, Honduras, S. America, …empire and militarism,…] , given the evidence available. On domestic social issues Davis is worse than most of the Democrats (but against abortion,  a stance with which you no doubt agree!  Aha!).

Their panic at the possibility of the world’s great power talking peace – however unlikely – would be the blackest farce were the issues not so dire…”
