I really don’t know why democrats (I claim to be one after orange mussolini and after decades of being non-partisan) put this current speaker in charge of the DNC instead of Ben Wickler. The milquetoast we are stuck with, along with $2mil of debt is not addressing the structured change anybody with half a brain wants after 20 months of orange Mussolini’s 2nd term, the federalists, Stephen miller (que ball Nazi), uncle Thomas and the lynching other five, toad white, kegsbreath, the forgettable names of women who mean nothing until they do - Bridget, fake boxer lady no education dept of education moron, go build a house pultey quit tearing down our government, and f* you DNI IQ smaller than the shoes mussolini gave you, besset with money woes let’s just run up the debt until we die fake smile dweeb. I would say, I won’t bad mouth the decrepitude of the DNC, but I am pretty sure, all you dinosaurs can only listen. And that’s ok. We need all of us. Quit cutting down people who promise to help with the ideas we want instead of your stodgy old cross the aisle promises. It is the 21st Century. Wake up ichebod Crane! 300/400 postcards done, might do some more ($280 of postage), thousands given in support, working the polls, scared of ICE but frankly willing to die - I am too old to run, oh and yeah, I protest and I am helping young and hungry people and supporting campaigns. What are YOU doing? I know it doesn’t sound like it, but I love these vignettes, but tonight I am p*ed off.
