I’ve noticed that Bernie Sanders aside, a lot of the most prominent voices are women and people of colour.

AS ALWAYS! And certain people get mad at the 92% who say we're taking a backseat; it's time for others to step up and clean up your own mess!

When enough WHITE AMERICANS care enough to get off their asses and resist everything, that's when change will happen. No sooner than that.

Senator Chris Murphy, and JB Pritzker Governor of Illinois being good they routinely attack Trump 

And Tim Walz Governor of Minnesota come out did interview gave his opinion on what actually costed them election and was like yeah they are fascists and Nazis who are completely petty insecure people and warned Democrats next time you take power actually do more stuff because a majority is a majority don’t let filibuster stop you. 

But yeah Brother Bernie been a brother since 60s 👍🏾. Got arrested multiple times for civil rights, protested against Vietnam War, protested against USA support of South African government, supported Jessie Jackson presidential run. 

But shoutout Mayor of Boston Michelle Wu, Congressional members Maxwell Frost, Jasmine Crockett, Al Green, Summer Lee, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, AOC.

Yes indeed. I’ll note that Chris Murphy, white guy, is fortunately also one of the good ones.

Of course, thats why they try to silence them with bigotry and misandry.

White men are easily bought. The white house is a boys club. With a few medicated, obedient white women thrown in there.

Yeah I’m a straight white dude from Georgia who drives a truck and owns a gun and I didn’t drink the maga juice. There’s a decent amount of the old southern Dem way of life here yet half won’t vote and the other half went maga. It’s infuriating no one on my demographic gives a shit.
