Both parties have epic fails when it comes to caring about #veterans.
I'm a boomer who has voted almost exclusively #Democrat over the years & I have to call out #JohnMcCain as a stellar example of one #Republican who always tried to do the right thing for vets. There are others from both parties.
We, me 100% included, all need to be careful of broadbrush statements.

Kagan served as a speechwriter for Secy of State #GeorgeShultz during the #Reagan admin & as an advisor to Sen #JohnMcCain during his 2008 presidential campaign.
In 2016, he left the #Republican party over its nomination of #Trump as its standard bearer & endorsed #HillaryClinton. In Nov 2023, he published an expansive column in the #WashingtonPost under the headline “A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending.”

@KimPerales
#Biden beat #TheOrangeMenace in AZ in 2020 b/c most voters there still remembered #JohnMcCain and were offended by T****'s derogatory attacks of him.
Now, four years later, many AZ voters no longer have a clear recollection of McCain or his criticism of T****.

And we are the defenders of a campaign finance system that is nothing less, than an elaborate influence peddling scheme, in which both parties conspire to stay in office by selling the country to the highest bidder."
