It kills me because he did have a heart issue during the 2020 campaign and it really did kill some momentum he had. But obviously it didn't last in any substantive way.
The DNC would never let him. That's the world we are in. The nominal opposition party is too concerned with fundraising and just not being the fascist party to do a damn thing.
We need a leftist tea party or a new party. Both are huge hills to climb, but I don't see the Democrats doing shit.
I think we need a new party. Schumer is/ has pretty much tanked any chance at a midterm comeback with this form of governance. Democrats have somehow become less popular while Trump lights the world on fire and pisses on its ashes. The brand is toast. No one wants to vote for Democrats and no one should want to be a Democrat.
The midterms are still 18 months away. 18 months before the last election, Republicans were still bickering over who they wanted their speaker to be and obviously they won that last one so anything is possible.
The Tea Party movement was well funded to distract from the real working class people’s movement the Occupy Wall Street movement
DNC plan is to swoop in at election time with a batch of zionist war criminal candidates who offer to shit the bed 5% less than trump does, and see if that works.
I wish I was joking but thats literally their plan. Wait for trump to irritate us enough to accept what the donors want without any changes. They learned absolutely nothing in the past 2 decades.
It's so damn frustrating
