I said he would cancel the elections, he isn't up for reelection until 2028. Canceling the 2026 elections would keep Magats in control of Congress but the war will be so unpopular that unwashed Magats are going to turn on him.

The people who are criticizing me are the same ones who told me that Democrats need to GOTV and beat them at the ballot box and then Krasnov steals the election.

Politicians are not going to save this country, the people will have to rise up and throw out the billionaires.

This war will bring unwashed Magats to our side.
