Let’s talk about “freedom”

Republicans love to talk about “freedom”. They think they own the word.

But freedom isn’t just about what you’re allowed to do. It’s also about getting rid of the things that get in the way.

In a country run by Republicans, we’re not as free as we think.

If a good education will bury us in debt, we’re not free.

If we can’t leave our jobs because we’ll lose our insurance, we’re not free.

If getting hurt or sick means deciding between going to the doctor or putting food on the table, we’re not free.

If we can’t love whoever we want, we are not free.

If we fear for our lives when we get pulled over, we are not free.

If the government can force us to have a baby against our will, we’re not free.

If our kids inherit a planet on fire, they’re not free.

Affordable healthcare, affordable education, confronting climate change, justice reform, living wages, the right to choose, equality for all.

That’s real freedom.

That’s what Democrats are fighting for.
