20. He's young.

He hasn't seen Biden and Pelosi in their Centrist years. They're downright activists today, compared to what they were when they were younger.

But, yes, they need to fucking move. Each day build on the rhetoric they say today. Do what needs to be done, even if you don't succeed because the record will show that the problem is the Republicans.

And Biden, they're not playing fair. If you think you can get through without Executive Orders, you will be the last Democratic president of a time that will no longer exist.

Referring to Hillary as voting for her Vagina is bigotry. It's misogyny JI7 Jun 2022 #53

Oh it is bigotted and insulting to women. Demsrule86 Jun 2022 #60
