We have women and the young people who watched their school mates get shot down.

We have fathers and husbands who care about their wives and daughters safety. Maybe even some red states who care that they have no checks and balances in our government.

susan collins is a good example.

they will make excuses and deny shit but when it comes down to it they are still willing to vote for shit.

they aren't the majority on a national level but they still make up a huge number.
