P.S. Fu(k the Republican Party too.
This is not democratic. Never forget that.

You’ll face a lot of pushback from people that think the democrats are the lesser of two weevils, but neither party is operating with our best interests in mind.

I think we all know there is a big problem with the DNC and they aren’t listening to their base and maybe they don’t care anymore.

They do not care

"Martin Gilens of Princeton University and Benjamin Page... set out to determine whether America could still credibly call itself a democracy. ...the results were devastating. Political outcomes overwhelmingly favored very wealthy people, corporations, and business groups. The influence of ordinary citizens, meanwhile, was at a “non-significant, near-zero level.” America, they concluded, was not a democracy at all, but a functional oligarchy." Link provided below
