74. The point is all white males are not trump sycophants. It we Dems pick the right candidate...

we can pull some white males over to our side. Pritzker, Bashear, Kelly, Moore and others come to mind.

trumps numbers are cratering as inflation rises, not to mention the Iran bombing, and if we take the House back in 2026, he won't be able to keep up his insane wannabe dictator bullshit.

I'm optimistic about our chances for '26 and '28. If we had had the right, and I have to say it, the right and younger male candidate in '24 with a standard two-year long campaign, we'd have wiped the floor with the insurrectionist found guilty of 34 felon counts and of being an adjudicated rapist who rescinded abortion rights for women.

It's pretty obvious America is not ready to elect a woman president...Hillary and Harris showed that as both ran good campaigns Comey torpedoed Hillary and Joe has the age disadvantage and never should've run for reelection.

That's the point.

"He is seemingly anti-semitic." What has he said or done that makes him so? thx in advance uponit7771 Jun 2025 #34
