Pritt was initially elected to the state House as a Democrat in 2022 but changed his political affiliation to Republican the year after. Republican Party chair Elgine McArdle said in a statement that Pritt had realized that the “Democratic Party of today is not the Democratic Party that our parents grew up with.”

State Republicans have filed numerous bills seeking to restrict gender-affirming care for transgender minors, ban trans student-athletes from playing on sports teams that match their gender identity, and nullify cities’ non-discrimination ordinances.

In 2023, Pritt voted for a ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth. State Sen. Mike Azinger ® said that the bill was needed because gender is “self-evident” and that the bill was needed to stop doctors who want to “chop up a child,” even though gender affirming surgery is almost never performed on minors and the bill banned non-surgical interventions.

Why is it always the ones you most suspect?

    1. Obamacare originally had a public option and didn’t have the votes. Also, what stopped Bernie from proposing Medicare For All for the last 10 years, he’s a literal Senator genius.

    2. The “party” did not choose Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders. The black voters did, the same voters he failed to reach out to, this is a demo Hillary and Biden aggressively targeted.

    3. You sound like a MAGAT, everything isn’t rigged against you and you’re not always right you pretentious spoiled fuck.
