43. Serious question

Mon Jun 8, 2020, 06:09 PM

Jun 2020

Would Liz Sage really be happy if he was speaking up and being a leader or would she be bitching that he needs to shut up. No one voted for him. He's going to turn middle America against us with his Communism. He needs to let Joe Biden lead etc etc. It boggles my mind how people can be such sore winners.

I never said he was a sacred cow JonLP24 Jun 2020 #21

To be fair Jon, Sanders spent the last five years attacking the Democratic Party. Blue_true Jun 2020 #48
