My thoughts, too. I MADE myself listen to the audio that went with this news story. Same idiotic word-salad on her part.
One heartbeat away! Ugh! :(
Wisconsin voters share issues important to them as election season ramps up, VP Harris visits
(They interviewed Madistan idiots roaming around free):
Vice President Kamala Harris’s visit to Madison Wednesday came on the heels of Super Tuesday, meaning campaign season is in full swing. Some Wisconsin voters told News 3 Now that it’s the need for solutions, not the candidates, that’s driving them to the polls.
For Kathy Walsh, priority number one is seeing an end to the war and humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
She visited Gaza in 2005 and later joined the Madison-Rafah Sister City Project. Now, Walsh said she’s bringing the memories and wellbeing of Palestinian children to the polls with her.
“I will not vote for anybody who does not support an immediate ceasefire,” she said. “An enforceable entity, you know, putting a lot more aid to rebuild Gaza.”
Rollie and Mary Boeding were also out for a walk downtown Wednesday, and for the longtime Wisconsin voters, “Well, I’m very concerned about the environment,” Rollie said.
“And global warming, I mean, it is here. Whether we want to admit it or not It is here,” he said.
The two said they were disgusted by the misinformation and divisiveness of society this election cycle, and urged that young people continue showing up to the polls.
“I think the division, some of the, you know, Supreme Court rulings have really enlightened the young people to realize they need to get involved,” Mary said.
The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022 and the battle for reproductive rights that followed continue to be a top issue for students on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus.
Emmie Niemi said she feels the need to start looking beyond the Democrat and Republican Presidential candidates for change.
Niemi is turning to other positions in other parties, “looking at who cares about abortion, cares about letting women just have rights in general.”
Meanwhile nearby playing in the grass of Library Mall, Gregory Lyon said him and Nolan Baudry are “both pretty much one-party voters. I’m pro-life, so we’ll see how that goes.”
According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau roughly half of registered voters under 25 in Wisconsin cast a ballot in the November 2022 election.
While Lyon is turning out to vote, he said that’s the farthest he’ll wade into the political pool.
“It’s like when I talk about politics, I just get depressed, I feel like,” he said. “So I just try to stay out of it.”
There seemed to be more disappointment than excitement about the candidates once again vying to be Commander-in-Chief.
“Like, how much longer are we going to have to keep putting geriatric old men into office before we can do something else?” Niemi said.
Fellow Junior Christa Klais agreed. “That’s kind of upsetting, is now that I’m finally of voting age, I cannot vote for someone that I feel really, truly represents something that we should be doing as a country.”
Wisconsin’s Spring Primary is April 2nd.
GOD HELP US! :)
