66. He still needs to tell the truth

Sun Nov 17, 2024, 05:10 PM

Sunday

To be authentic. If he believes in what he is saying tell the world including the republicans. You don’t preach to the choir, you spread the gospel of economic socialism to the world. Democrats have busted their asses to fix this country and the republicans tear it down every time so go tell the people about the demons that are destroying the world.
