    Martinez campaigned on a platform focused on affordable insurance, stronger local infrastructure, and expanded access to health care, including mental health and substance-abuse services. She also focused on government transparency, support for public education, and advocacy for working families.

    It’s almost like if you focus on the stuff that’s most important to the vast majority of voters, you’ll get more votes. Hmm…

      What’s hilarious is that all feels like bottom of the barrel stuff, like we should just be doing that stuff by default.

        That’s why America is stuck in the mud, it goes forward in progress and back to revisionism. It gives with one hand and takes back with the other. This is why a two party system is fraught with paradox. More lines of ascension means more dialogue and progress moves more steadily forward instead of being jerked back and forth. One party is not the solution any but those in power should wish for. There is a reason no one is ruled by a monarchy anymore.
