There was nothing wrong with the Democratic message [View all]

The problem is the sickness permeating our society that has been emboldened by Trump and creepy social media influencers.

VP Harris is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, compassionate, and had a message and proposals that would lift everyone up. As an added bonus she is acutely aware of how to even the playing field for women and minorities and lift us up as well.

Trump is a rapist, a con artist, a liar, and a maniac hellbent on revenge. He's not about lifting up or making anyone's life better except the wealthy and himself.

Our message was not the problem. Our current society is the problem.
