Transcript

Welcome to Jonathan's Verdicts. I'm Jonathan Simeone. The title of this episode is: Democrats Ignore People With Disabilities: The verdict for this episode is: no Democratic candidate for president talks about people with disabilities.

I have seen most of every town hall candidates have done on television, I haven't seen them asked one question about people with disabilities. I haven't seen one candidate include people with disabilities in a single answer.

While the candidates trumpet the diversity of their staffs, I note they never discuss staffers with disabilities.

The House resolution condemning hatred against every group Congress could imagine condemning acts of hatred against, didn't include people with disabilities. Articles about the increase in diversity of Congressional staff positions, don't include people with disabilities being hired to work in Congress.

The Democratic Candidates and the Democratic Party are so diverse and supposedly commited to diversity that their dismissal and rejection of people with disabilities is noteworthy. Sadly, it won't be noted by anyone who doesn't have a disability.

Thank you for listening to this episode of Jonathan's Verdicts. I will be back next weekend with another episode.

In this episode, I describe why a jobs guarantee makes sense for America.

The verdict for this episode is: I don't care.

In this episode, I discuss how the populations of DC and Puerto Rico compare with the populations of some states. Then I discuss how different things would be if DC and Puerto Rico were granted statehood. I finish by pointing out how DC and Puerto Rico could be granted statehood.

In this episode, I discuss the real problem behind America's political problems: the reality that an illegitimate government is enacting policies opposed by a majority of the American public.

In America, minority rules.
