    Too bad he isn’t coming in to the south. I know the danger of a typical magat idiot doing something harmful is higher. What we need here is to rally those of us who will never vote republican again to gather and see we are not alone. By doing so we can show those on the fence that its okay to vote against the magats

    “Oligarchy” is quite a big word for conservatives. They probably think it has something to do with oil. (and I guess in a way, it does)

    While he is doing well, the reality is if he doesnt break from democrat this will be a big scam when he will try to get these people to vote democrat if there is an election.

      We absolutely cannot afford to make a third party right now. That splits the vote and guarantees Republican dominance going forward.

      We must change the Democratic party through primaries.

        You’re saying this because you know they have their thumb on the scale during primaries.

        Not just through primaries. There needs to be public pressure for the corpo Dems to step down and make way for new leadership that is truly progressive. Trump took over the GOP by converting its base: first through the Tea Party and then MAGA.

    Just a funding cash grab like all the other times with the excitement and fervor having died decades ago

    also hard to take Democrats and Republicans seriously but the fact so many people do gives even less hope for the future

    If Democrats were going to save us they would have had decades ago instead of fighting for segregation but that was not a big enough red flag
