As a mental health professional she sort of sees everything as a mental health issue rather than a systemic issue. What she will not acknowledge is that the systematic racism and undermining the economy of the working class by republicans is very much a part of why so many people have mental health issues. If you underfund community huge numbers of people fall through the cracks. And often that manifests as mental health issues, but the underlying cause is the cracks in the safety net and the breakdown of the American dream due to stealing by the rich who are the paymasters of the Republicans. We need a systemic thinker, not an apologist for deconstructing the community in name of the moral values of the patriarchy.

I voted for a Republican, Claudine Schneider, back when the Democrats were an exclusive boy’s club and we had almost no women in politics, but the Republican Party was very different then. I’ve listened to the Republicans in State House hearings and have not heard much that would win my vote.
