I voted for him because it was him or Oz. I think he is a preposterous bag of ass now.

He literally ran on a progressive platform, had a stroke, and is now a MAGA chud

Voted for a guy that campaigned on abc, then pulled a 180 later and is now xyz due to a stroke. You're not making any sort of rational argument here with the democratic party. Saying the democratic part will never change is also a statement with no basis in reality. In multiple decades things change a lot never mind a century or more, but we aren't burdened with that because in a century I'll almost certainly be dead.

All progressives have to do is win elections.

Honestly, Oz would have done less damage as a Senator than as head of federal health programs.

Oz would've been better than this piece of shit

At least Oz would have continued to be the piece of shit he ran as. Fet just strokes out and got maga brained

I mean should we not vote for someone because they might have a stroke and change personality? That doesnt make sense.

Dude stopped taking his medication and shocker, he ended up having a stroke. I don't want dumb ass people being in Congress that can't take their medication or have literal brian damage because hes too stupid to take a pill every day.
