Brandon has to go. I’ll vote for any D, but it’s clear that his showmanship isn’t cutting it. And let’s be honest with ourselves: the election is about courting fucktard undecideds in just a few states. Substance is ancillary. Thwarting and imprisoning trump must be our primary objective.

How does Trump being in prison materially affect working class people? Trump is a symptom, not the cause.

Uh, because it shows everyone that criminals get fucked up by the law, even if they’re powerful douchecunts? You know, like what we supposedly stand for in this country?

How does that put more food on the table? How does that improve education? How does that improve wages? How does that reduce income inequality? How does that make childcare more attainable? How does that improve infrastructure? How does that make Healthcare more obtainable?

To say the American's highest priority should be imprisoning trump just shows how out of touch the democrats are. Individually incarcerating con men is not a strategy that will defeat fascism.

Right, it’s best to let treasonous rich fascist cunts go free. They’re known to take care of the poors.
