More than once during Joe Kennedy III’s response to tRUMP I found myself shouting “Get Some!” at my TV.
Yes, I know many were disappointed by his being chosen to give the “official” response. But unlike so many others who’s careers have been crippled Kennedy was not only equal to the moment, but rose to command it. More importantly, I think he gave us what I believe should be our main talking point moving forward:
“We choose both!”
The GOP set up the shutdown by offering a cruel choice. They offer false choices as a matter of course, with the man who sees everything in transactional terms leading the way. And the response of all Democratic politicians up & down the ballot, as well as our talking heads needs to start right freaking now hammering home the point that this President and this GOP is pitting Americans against each other, and whatever the false, cruel choice they put on the table call it out as such.
And firmly say “We choose both!”
