It is terrifying.
Michigan's Democratic candidate for Senate Abdul El-Sayed confronted @jamesmatthewsky, telling him he wouldn't answer his questions as he wants "zero" votes in the UK.

He bulldozes every question.

It's almost like we just need a Political party for reasonable people.
One based on logical prioritization of what matters, listening to people, building stuff, not being distracted by wedge issues. etc
