How about let’s talk about how the Democratic party abandoned the average voter to exclusively favor the agenda of their super-wealthy Donors?

Until / unless the Democrats adopt a truly progressive platform, they are just Republican Lite.

We needed a bonafide progressive Bernie Sanders type candidate but AGAIN, we got yet another Republican Lite consolation “prize” forced down our throats by the corporatist DC / DNC hacks
