        What have the Democrats done in the last 10 years to stop the GOP? Every ossue America faces comes from infettered capitalism eating away at society like a cancer, but they still egg it on. The party exists to collect corporate donations and make people feel like they can change their lives if they just vote a little harder.

          It’s a little to the right vs so far right you get whiplash. They’re still not the same. Do you think any of this would’ve happened under Biden eventually? Of course not.
