Sun Dec 7, 2025, 01:40 PM

Sunday

...he fucking LIED to invent this ratfucking claim to write deliberately divisive article claiming this is the focus and messaging of the Dem leader, when we can clearly see that it's not even a major part of what he's been relating to the press and the public over the past weeks and months.

As if what he said was untrue or fundamentally wrong in any way.... It's just not.

It's not in the last presser, so what is this shit about it being a 'new slogan for the Democratic party' of the leader didn't even mention it the last time he spoke to the press on his own terms?

Look for yourself, and come back and tell me why this supposedly new slogan is nowhere to be found.

I won't wait up. It's not in there. It's just not.

It's NOT a 'new slogan for the Democratic party.' It's an invented trope being used to bash Jeffries with this author's own false projections.
