Let's be honest. The citizenry doesn't want nice things - so why keep trying?

Think about it, people vote against their own best because they like it that.

And judging from our right leaning members - we're going experience that in buckets and spades in 2022.

They want you to just give up.

Don't listen to any of those fucks.

Thank you.

from West Virginia. The host introduced her as a Democrat from WV who ran for office.

Stormy corrected her and said she's a registered Republican. She's very upset about ending the CTC, and does not earn a lot of money. She may have to forego food to make sure her kids eat.

Stormy, why are you Republican.? Also, Manchin thinks you're going to buy drugs with that money.

Nuts.

Manipulating the citizenries thoughts. Paying big money to buy fox and the other spawn puke talk news shows. Cable today is only good for the reception if anyone here remembers what reception was.
