We'll get through this, but how?

That’s what I want to know. The optimist in me says we’ll win in November, we’ll find a way two years from now, but I feel like we’re having to play defense while they’re going on offense.

We can still win elections coming up, just that significant change is going to take a long time, and as I approach my mid-thirties, I sure hope I live to see it.

Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, the cause of all his insane and cruel diversions.

Lying about "no wars"

Tainted hamberder.

Falling down stairs.

Jealous "palace guard"
Some are unpredictable alcoholics.

Putin is eliminated, bringing down the puppet act. And spilling the Epstein secret videos.



Bitcoin and other crypto collapse with all users doxxed (exposed)

Next assasination stunt goes very badly for him.

A small Duchy obtains the Q bomb and blackmails him into submission.




And of course, aliens.

Space aliens.



And strikes

But the deck keeps getting stacked against us.

Since 2016, we've won battles, but they've won wars.

We need to start winning wars.

We can regain workers with a progressive platform.

You know what happens to that when the fatcats call on the DNC to ( and I read these words today) "tone it down"

The party kills off its best strategies. I voted for Bernie in a primary because I believed that his worker's focus would be the best way to defeat Trump. I am glad I was wrong. That time. But I see future centrist campaigns failing to connect with workers.

People want "revolutionary" ideas. They thought that FartMan was revolutionary. He talked that way but only brought the bloodshed of revolution and welfare for the wealthy. Himself first.

SO BE REVOLUTIONARY!!
A grassroots revolution is needed for the party to win.

Indivisible has done infinitely more for our cause than the slumbering, oligarch-owned party.

Leaders are starting to lead because we the people kicked ass.
