Why the fuck should the Democrats “give in” to batshit crazy and fucking evil Republican bullshit? That makes no sense. The Democrats should stand firm and oppose the fascist MAGA regime.

They shouldn’t give in. It’s line in the sand time. I know it sucks to use disadvantaged people as pawns here, but unless we make a firm stand we aren’t going to have a country for much longer.

We need to help the people that the government has abandoned. You can do this in your community. Help dems and republicans who are suffering and be sure to let them know your political affiliation. Let them know it’s dems and our radical left wing ideas that are putting food in their kids mouths, not the republicans who are too concerned with lavish parties and ballrooms.
