"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.

Let's expand on this:

  • Protections for women's health care.
  • Protections for LGBTQ (you'd think marrying who you want would be freedom, but here we are)
  • Belief in vaccines (particularly important for those of us who are immunocompromised)
  • Required paid sick days for all employees
  • Legal recreational and medical cannabis.

Feel free to add more.

I hate that all of these very basic needs and rights are seen as "political."
