It's only been minutes, but I've learned Jasmine Crockett can't win because she's a Black woman, something about crypto and Israel so she shouldn't even try.

I have no idea who Talarico is, but yeah the Democrat Party should run the unknown instead.

You people disgust me.

You mean…. like a “people’s car” ….. a Volkswagen?

Yeah, there was another fascist that introduced that idea.

Chairman Mao announces his new state-run transportation plan

I have just approved TINY CARS to be built in America. Manufacturers have long wanted to do this, just like they are so successfully built in other countries. They can be propelled by gasoline, electric, or hybrid. These cars of the very near future are inexpensive, safe, fuel efficient and, quite simply, AMAZING!!! START BUILDING THEM NOW! Thank you to the DOJ and the Departments of Transportation and Environment. ENJOY!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Who is the base, Chris???? Is sure as fuck isn’t middle-aged white women. Black women and voters are the base of the Democratic Party. We (white women) aren’t anywhere near the base as we’ve voted red against our best interests for decades.
