Oh, too bad!

I wonder (I read the article) what this author has to say about New York or California or Massachusetts? This standard that is being used towards Montana should be used with other states as well, shouldn’t it?

“it’s my body, my choice, it’s my body, my choice, it’s my body, choice with everything,’ “ she says.”
Does that include the body of the unborn, Mallerie? Your leaving politics will be a net plus for Montana.

...high cost of housing and juggling school and work. But most of all, she felt a decline in her mental well-being.Sniff, sniff. Welcome to adulthood, dearie.
I can just hear those sniveling, whiny, whimpering, feminized male NPR announcers in my head reading this story. Why does every NPR announcer sound just like every other one? Are they all required to attend NPR's "Sniveling, Whiny News Reader School" to get the job?

The under 35 set are truly a special bunch of snowflakes. I blame the parents who from the child’s infancy, treated the children with kid gloves out of guilt from divorce, broken homes.
They let the kids have 100% adult authority from toddlerhood and gave them 0% responsibility/accountability to the point where we have “royal” kidults who don’t like “adulting,” have no empathy for anyone but themselves and are a bunch of whinging sociopaths.

The question is "Can moderates survive?"
In the French revolution, things proceeded ever leftwards until Napoleon stepped in and took over.

It has never been "my body,my choice" for children.
Children are not adults.

"I think it makes it more difficult to make policy for the greater good and to focus on what Montanans really need," Stromswold says. As if a 21 year old would have special insights into what Montanans really need.
Stromswold, who established herself as an independent voice in the Montana GOP early in her first term, says she was pressured by other lawmakers and politicos outside of the state Capitol to fall in line and vote with her caucus. When she didn't, she was ostracized.In other words, she went to the legislature as a naive, innocent waif, got introduced to real-world hardball politics and couldn't take it. It's better she cut and run now because she is clearly not cut out for the rough and tumble game.

21 years old? wtf. She should grow up first.

Exactly right. We’ve got three kids, mid- to early-30s. The eldest are two girls who were taught how to work hard and get ahead. They are doing well. Our third, a son, is not doing as well which is sad. Same upbringing for all three.
I’d wager the young woman in this story was not raised on a Montana ranch.

The little snowflake needs to be drummed out of the party. Transgenders, and any other freak perverts, do not need additional rights not already provided by God and protected by the US Constitution.

Screw moderation. Anything worth doing is worth doing to excess.

So moderate means a “Republican” who votes like a slightly less psychotic DemocRAT.

“””But most of all, she felt a decline in her mental well-being”””
Here is another example that being progressive is a mental disease.
