Right-Winger Tries To Take On Katie Porter... INSTANTLY Regrets It

[@padiane1867]

Katie Porter is a national treasure. She tells it exactly like it is. I am so sad she will not be in Congress next year. Hopefully she will run for higher office again. We need her.

I agree. I was shocked to hear she lost but thankfully it’s another Democrat taking her place and not a republican

[@thetabest]

It's because Katie wields the truth. Something that the GOP melts to, as they are a party of lies, bending over backwards to lie that Trump is innocent, good, even christ like...while I don't believe the Bible I have read both testaments almost in full. I really enjoyed the prescriptives for the anti christ, whose followers adorn their foreheads with his mark. It warns of following a false idol... I don't believe but it sure fits!

As to what race has to do with it, let's be realistic. It can play a role in your decision of who to vote for. After Biden's next four years, his black vp is cued up to be a top contender for president. The man who mentioned his race meant he would choose Porter even in a race that included the excellent Kamala Harris. I think Katie Porter's appeal crosses many lines and draws a diverse group who are there for the substance. That is in no way meant to be a dig at VP Harris. She is more centrist than the Progessives' darling Porter.

Yeah, it’s a struggle when my mother worked 40 hours a week and applied for food stamps because literally we saved every penny they offered her $10 a month for a family of three and my sister.. She laughed at them and told them to keep their money and thankfully, we were a smart family that woke up early and waited for the store to throw food away collected it cleaned it and survived my mother always provided a salad, a dinner two sides and a piece of meat And a dessert.. Not because of the government help, but because we were getting food from food, pantries and a dumpster 😮USA😢 I’m grateful to say this is all changed for our family, but there are still many struggling and we’re not yet used to general practitioners. If you do have a general practitioner doctor your scene for 15 minutes because they get paid per patient not quality spent paid for how many patients they’re able to see in a day. Who wants to go and see a doctor for 15 minutes so the doctor can gain money while the patient still suffers who can even explain in 15 minutes what’s really going on life with health a very very twisted community of doctors?

Katie will be missed. She needs to run again because this country desperately needs her.

SHES ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! Rich ppl have NO FUCKIN IDEA what the rest of us go thru!

70 yr old Canadian here …in 1985 I gave birth to my only child …had 6 months of PAID maternity leave and subsidized day care when I went back to work! Fast forward to 2024 and Canadians now have the option of 12 months paid maternity leave with an additional 6 months unpaid and we now have 10$ a day …day care for our children! No system can be perfect but as a single working Mother the options were fabulous! When my American daughter in law gave birth in 2017 in the US you cannot believe how shocked and saddened I was to learn that she was given only 6 weeks of mat leave from her employer …6 weeks is not enough time to heal from childbirth ! I absolutely cannot believe that what’s supposed to be the “most powerful “ country in the world is so far behind the eight ball in women and Children’s rights all the while they are trying to erase every single right that women for many generations have been fighting for ! It’s disgraceful and they should be ashamed of themselves ! Come on ladies …show these folks that we mean business …vote blue💙💙💙💙

thank you for posting your perspective to remind americans what they are lacking. IT IS NOT OKAY to provide 6 weeks to heal from childbirth for gods sake.

[@JamieSommerfeldt]

Thank you Canada, for being such a civilized country!

I know as a woman we often experience our issues with sexism being diminished and discarded, so to hear Katie Porter finally say something, really feels like a breath of fresh air. We aren’t crazy, we ARE being treated worse, we are being ignored. Go Ms. Porter!

[@berngirl5624]

She would make a great president. She actually cares about people and not corporations.

Most americans do want universal childcare and healthcare. We do not want our money lining the pockets of industrial military complex.

[@nuttygirl83]

What I was thinking! More people probably want their money to go to helping children than to funding more wars. My son is at a military school right now and I have many friends that serve, but we spend far more than I would want on the military complex in this country.

"too many in congress dont get it because they never had to live it!" Thank you Katie. The sensibilities of congress are incongruous with those of most Americans. The rich make laws for the rich.

[@cghphone2706]

Katie Porter is right on the money. I was a schoolteacher and more than half of my students parents were working parents and the kids came home by themselves. We need childcare and we need it funded by the government. We need it funded by theAmerican people.

[@adriekalenian1187]

Katie Porter truly is for the American people. Very well said.

[@rodsperling4447]

Its people like Raskin and Porter who call out Republicans with facts.Great work.

[@orianablack6809]

Keep this lady in congress California the whole country NEEDS her.

[@treycorbin1828]

"Most people don't want fully government-funded childcare." Idk, but that sounds like it can help more than it can hurt.
