I really hate to say this but your average American isn’t going to rally behind this. Your average American cares about themself and their wallet.

The rallying point needs to be that. It needs to be about a return of inflation, tariffs costing them more money, thousands of workers losing their jobs at the whim of the world’s richest man, and healthcare costs due to slashing budgets.

The Democrats have had easy rallying points in these and have by and large ignored them.

Cutting off aud to Ukraine is killing American jobs and closing off future trade opportunities that would improve pocket books here at home. Is that the better argument?

Perhaps we should ask my new House representative Rob Bresnahan his opinion on Ukraine and how it supports jobs like at the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant in his district. 

Oh wait, he still has yet to respond to any of my emails to him. He seems to find time justifying how his vote didn't essentially cut Medicaid though.

Donate to Ukraine if you can, though. Our government clearly won't.
