@npub1stl…x7cs Probably safer -- most of their flavors aren't very good

@npub1stl…x7cs Is that no flavor?

I'm not normally a fan of LaCroix, but the Limoncello flavor is really good!

Are undecided voters out their quaking in their shoes because of "dangerous liberals"? What are they going to do -- give you health care? Help you pay off your student loans? Make housing more affordable? Force your kid to become trans? It's so laughable. #USPol

The Trump campaign's description of Harris as being "dangerously liberal" is so laughable to me -- but I guess I'm not their target. 🙄 #USPol
