Nov 2020

They didn't support Medicare for All? Or the Green New Deal? Or defunding the police? Or abolishing ICE? Or socialism?

Because if those so-called Democrats running in their safe ass super blue districts actually came to the areas where those good Democrats lost, they would think otherwise, because THAT WAS EVERY AD THE REPUBLICANS RUNNING AGAINST THEM WERE CLAIMING.

So goddamn sick of their purity tests from the bluest of blue enclaves. Come to the rural areas of the south and hold a rally and let's really see how many of these secret socialists you think are out there.
