Polarization in Congress is worse than ever, and this is making it harder for Congress to solve basic problems for the American people.
But, we have a bill to fix this broken system and make Congress more responsive to their constituency by implementing ranked choice voting.

He’s neither. He’s the party of self-worship. He just found republicans were far more willing to accommodate a cheating criminal rapist in their ranks. He doesnt believe in anything.
He probably only ever called himself a dem when he was trying to force his way into the Clinton’s social circle.

I thought Trump got away from Democrats because of Obama but it looks more like it was to distance himself from Epstein. Blame everything on Dems like you didn’t spend years as a Democrat. Do MAGAts know he was a Dem? Or should I ask did FAUX ever tell them Trump was a Dem?
