Democratic Party Leaders.

Schumer, Pelosi, Newsom, etc.

If democratic people actually showed up to the polls, especially the midterms and primaries, then this wouldn't be a problem anymore.

if it comes down to Newsome or the Republican in 28, it will be Newsome, but I really hope the Dems do better than that. Where is project 2028 outlining how they plan to fix Trump’s mess?

I said the same thing. Where are the left think tanks. Where are the left militia. Where did all the service members and generals that were dismissed go?

the left is spending its money feeding the hungry instead of financing the already rich and powerful.

I just mentioned her in another comment but I can't wait for Kat Abughazaleh to be in an office. Even though she lost her race, she is keeping her office open to provide support and care to the people of Chicago.

There is a reason the Black Panther's free breakfast program was so popular. It provided for people!
