The Partisan Divide on Issues

They are not getting vaccinated right now, thus imposing covid upon us. I sure hope we can use our authority to address social inequity, but that depends on whether all Democrats are real Democrats and not Republican wolves in sheep's clothing. And I sure hope we can take as many guns away from you guys as we can. 

I just read a joint email from two ACLU luminaries. The ACLU has never shied away from tough calls - even ones in support of people and movments they hate. Guess what: they argue that vaccine mandates are a higher form of freedom than the actions foisted on us by the so-called freedom movement. Most freedoms, they argue, are limited by opposing higher-level freedoms like the right to life. Vaccines are safe and effective measures that promote the life and health of the community. By their reckoniing, the health and safety of the many dreastically outweighs the trivial desires of the few.
