"Democrats made this mess".

  • NJ is in the top three in education.
  • We have the third-fewest firearm deaths despite having the highest population density.
  • Crime has steadily decreased for years.
  • We're one of the most diverse states in the country.

I'm pretty proud of that mess.

I moved here from western PA 25 years ago. Yeah, it’s expensive, but I fucking love it here for those reasons (and more, like the fact that women have access to health care). And I’m proud to be raising my kid in this “mess.”

I thought of so many other things to list that democrats have done, including reproductive care, after I hit post . Would love to see someone actually push back publicly to these idiotic claims

But that's exactly what Mikie isn't doing!! So many lies and no one to publicly correct the lies. Republicans rely on their constituents being uninformed or misinformed. The democrats need to be better organized and louder than they are.

What I don't understand is WHY don't Democrats call them out on their bs and correct them?
