NEW YORK NIGHTS

Wherever we see man-made horror, it’s the result of extremism. Hamas and the Netanyahu government are made up of extremists who will stop short of nothing to achieve their goals, resulting in the Oct. 7 massacre and close to 40,000 Palestinian deaths.

Here in America, there is a similar zero-sum Republican extremist approach.

No one really wants to have an abortion, but instead of dealing with the problem of unwanted pregnancies, Republicans insist on banning abortion.

Immigration can be reasonably resolved, but Republican extremists want our borders shut tight.

Most Americans want reasonable gun safety laws, but extreme Republicans reject any legislation that restricts guns.

Most Americans want wealthy individuals and companies to pay reasonable taxes, but extreme Republicans want them to pay little or no taxes.

Republicans have become a party of extremists, and that is the greatest reason we must elect Democrats this November.
