MI State Senator Mallory McMorrow

In the end, Democrats must stop ceding the moral language of American politics to Republicans. The current Republican platform consists almost entirely of (a) protecting tax cuts for billionaires; (b) fighting tooth-and-nail to prevent all Americans from having health insurance; (c) attacking gay and trans folks; (d) turning away refugees at our borders; and (e) preventing Black and brown people from voting.

These positions are antithetical to the Jesus whom they regularly invoke, a guy who spent much of his time feeding the hungry and doling out free healthcare. More Democratic politicians should follow McMorrow’s lead and point that out.
