50. That Wasn't The Purpose Of The Video

Sun Feb 24, 2019, 06:14 PM

Feb 2019

It was done and shown to discredit DiFi. And you may not have noticed but people speak to their reps all the time about the climate. Further, she has a good record on the subject and is trying to pass a bill that actually has a chance of being a solution. One of the women in the video actually admits that they are not seeking a solution. So really, what was the point of that charade?

So you consider a post which is truthful divisive?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
