21. Respectfully, I disagree, it does matter a lot

Deb Fisher is a Nazi. Literally one of the biggest sycophants for Mango Mussolini in the Senate. When organizations like the AARP praises her, it gives her and her actions, legitimacy.
It's called "white washing". You do a small act to get perceived legitimate organizations to say something nice about you and then use that as cover for the 99% of the things you do that are shitty and evil.

Anyone, any organization, that praises a Republican for any reason, is literally part of the problem.
Republicans, including Fischer, want to starve people to death, including lots of older people that are members of AARP, because Democrats won't let them strip away the healthcare of other AARP members and their respective families.

I could not disagree more with your position on this. Who organizations like AARP give public recognition too matters a lot.
