Honestly, I don’t want to breathe in all the exhaust. I don’t understand why people run or exercise on roads when we know how bad the exhaust is.

The only way I’m going to want to walk around Cary town is if they take cars completely off the road. Some intersections I can handle maybe include that block with the parking lot for people to drive, but rest? Pedestrians and bikes only.

Another important point, a lot of Richmond sidewalks aren’t that great and can make it difficult to walk. I know downtown isn’t as bad, but southside is terrible, buses just leave you in the woods 😂

See that’s where I disagree. One party’s platform involves legislation to help American’s. The other party’s platform is made up culture wars.

One party believes that government should do more to invest in the American people, while the other party doesn’t believe in government.

Trying to equate the two parties is exactly what Fox News wants you to do, because if you focus on policies and congressional voting records, it’s pretty clear which party actually has an interest in working for the American people (which is what we pay them for)

It’s almost like you don’t understand that our politics actually determine how we live in a society.

Just like how a government should be run by citizens of a country, who work in the best interest of the citizens of that country. “Politics” is just the word we use to describe our own governance.

So when someone gets impeached, it’s almost as if society as a whole is saying, “hey, that shit you did right there, not cool dude” of course, that’s only assuming that our political leaders actually reflect the values of its citizens.

I’d also just like to point out that bail reform doesn’t increase the crime rate since anyone with money or connection to a bail bond company can get out on bail while they await trial.

Another reminder. In our legal system, being charged with a crime doesn’t mean you’re guilty of a crime. That’s what a trial is for.

Just trying to shut down disinformation before it spreads.
