And that democrats unite behind whomever our candidate is in 2028. It's fucking too late for the idiots who voted for him, soon to be deported or imprisoned. Heck, I'm even for the democratic party playing TSF's game a giving lip service to anything and anyone that will get the idiots to give us votes, like TSF. Then, just like TSF, turn on them on day one, if that's what it takes.

If stupid people vote stupidly and cannot remember who or what they voted for from election to election, fuck 'em.

I would like to add one of my own, we must, both men and women, fight for the return of bodily autonomy to women. The Patriarchy serves neither women nor men. We are not free until all Americans are free!

It's always been about him. And now that he has the attention of the billionaires, that's all that matters to him. I avoided Trump like the plague yesterday, so I am not surprised at all by what Bernie is saying here. Trump is probably about the best con man, this world has ever seen. And 77 million people are about to see how bad it is about to get. They've all been conned and now it's time to pay.

I fully support everything Bernie said about what has to be done. Is anyone listening? He's absolutely right!!!!
