“The facts are diesel prices have gone up. There’s no question about it. Why has it gone up? Because the Democrats have environmental regulations—” Harris tried to respond, only for audience members to groan, laugh, and shout at the Maryland first district congressman and chair of the right-wing House Freedom caucus.

“See this is the problem,” Harris complained to the crowd. “You all say all believe in the First Amendment, but only if you agree with you. You should let me finish the sentence, ma’am. You are rude!”

this guy would do well in Australia. When asked during our 2020 mega fires, our then deputy prime minister was asked why the fires were so disastrous, as a climate denier I assume the journalist was trying to "gotcha" him, he replied because of extreme green environmental legislation.

That dude was reelected, many times.

Americans and the British thinking "ranked choice will fix what ails us" misunderstanding that there's "something wrong in our brains" to paraphrase David Boyd.
