70. From an early interview of Mr. Trent about his new start up Brand New Congress

Sat Jan 1, 2022, 02:50 PM

Jan 2022

Theo: What is your relationship to the Democratic Party?

Corbin: Myself, personally? I have no relationship whatsoever. The organization has very little. We intend to run within their structures, and in their primaries, and we’re thankful that they’ve set up an infrastructure that’s going to allow candidates to run in primaries. But we think that the party has — a long time ago — stopped representing the needs of the American people.

Typical rightwing Politico spin. FoxNewsSucks Jan 2022 #1

And by "spin" you mean "reporting what a left wing campaign manager says"? brooklynite Jan 2022 #23

By "rightwing spin" FoxNewsSucks Jan 2022 #35

But its "The Left" which is choosing to mount a challenge in 2024. brooklynite Jan 2022 #50

I didn't know that individual represented all of "The Left" FoxNewsSucks Jan 2022 #65

He represents several Super PACs / Committees on "the left" George II Jan 2022 #82

NOBODY has "chosen" to do ANYTHING, yet. DemocraticPatriot Jan 2022 #128

No, it's just individual voices within "The Left" that is choosing that route. Torchlight Jan 2022 #136

50-50 senate and "the next FDR" have nothing to do with each other. betsuni Jan 2022 #8

It's disgusting when folks who hate the Democratic Party try to appropriate our legacy. lapucelle Jan 2022 #95
