The oligarchs ruling the Democratic Party are the reason I'm not a Democrat. We need a People's Party, which the Dems could be if they looked at history and emulated FDR.

Newsmax is spreading lies about what is going on in DC. My neighbor, who doesn't read and only watches it, told me that DC is much safer and cleaner, and the DC mayor personally thanked TACO for doing this.

I know this doesn't sound earth shattering, but my sister in law told me she was going to protest on Labor Day. Thing is, she is the type who holds back, doesn't protest. But she sees the writing on the wall. I'm hoping millions more join her.
