You believe voting in favor of the filibuster over democracy is for the people! Uncle Joe Jan 2022 #22

That's it. What we need are more slogans! iemanja Jan 2022 #27

I don't like the implication iemanja Jan 2022 #44

Anybody that can read, anybody that can view a video, Uncle Joe Jan 2022 #43

But why would he want anyone to think Democrats aren't standing up and fighting for the American betsuni Jan 2022 #46

Probably because that's the current narrative in popular culture. Hellbound Hellhound Jan 2022 #49
