Yes but now the new right wing rhetoric is that if you don’t have children you shouldn’t be allowed to vote. That somehow children are needed for you to have a say. It’s insane to read this garbage. It’s their way of preventing LGBTQ+ from participating in society. One of my goals this week is to figure out how to get on the school board and city council. The other is to work on stopping the California Governor recall. Republicans want to put a giy in just like DeSantis and Abbott.
Just get Cali Dems off their butts to vote “No”. Dems have had such a huge majority, they think they don’t have to do anything. Tell them to watch out. The Repubs there smell an opening.
In the capitol town (Olympia is not a city) of my reliably blue state, Democrats can't get more than about 16% of eligible voters to participate in our easy-peasy vote-by-mail local primaries in order to get the progressives the party endorses on the ticket for the general! A friend and I were writing postcards to pat GA voters on the back for voting in 2020, and she commented that we needed to start sending postcards to our local progressive voters to get them to do something to oust the Business Democrats who run our town and make sure their development cronies get all the goodies the town has to give away. (We hear a lot from HCR about the Business Republicans, but not much about their Democratic counterparts.)
They’ve not, to my knowledge, once said a word about children. But remember, children can’t vote, so why would they care about them?
Population control.

Doesn't address your concern directly but readers may enjoy Doug Porter's always excellent commentary plus his brief descriptions of the 46 candidates for governor if the recall is successful. Good for a chuckle. https://wordsanddeedsblog.com/vote-no-on-question-1-skip-question-2-dont-overthink-this-stoptherepublicanrecall/
More power to you, Sharon! Keep us posted!
