General Discussion

I retired from the state of Alaska in 2016, after spending years as a steward on the Alaska Marine Highway System.

I'm 56, a widower and a grandfather. Older people go back to college all the time.

And I worked in the Democratic Party in Alaska for decades, after working in Democratic campaigns in Oregon going back to the Seventies.

You have no justification for personally maligning me. I have never treated you with any personal disrespect. Therefore, I am owed personal respect by you, as is everyone else who posts here.

Race plays a major role in Texas politics, as I've always said. So does class. Centrist Democratic campaigns can't do anything to overcome that. And I never dismissed the importance of defending voting access. You don't have to be against economic justice to be effective at making sure people can vote.
