    Meh…

    Article list three “democrats” by name:

    Enrique Roberto “Henry” Cuella, who unsurprisinfly just goes by Henry.

    Claims to fame:

    He fired a staffer for being pregnant, was appointed as Texas secretary of state by total shitstain Rick Perry, and recently described himself as a “conservative democrat”, wants abortion to be illegal, and his house was searched by the FBI last year for taking bribes from Azerbaijan…

    Eric Adams, I don’t think I need to explain to anyone why he isn’t really a dem.

    J.B. Pritzker, stupidly wealthy… like, just an obsence amount of inherited wealth he never earned.

    His family has been in the top 10 for Forbes “wealthiest families” since they started reporting that 40 years ago. More importantly he’s on an FBI wiretap talking to the then Gov of Illinois about what political appointment he wanted in exchange for a shit ton of donations. To become the Gov, he spent over $171,500,000 of his own fortune. He’s literally just been using his family wealth to buy his way into power for decades.

    I’m far from a fan of Biden, but I don’t care what any of these chucklefucks have to say.

      And the party supported him in a recent primary, ostensibly because he was the incumbent, but really because his opponent was progressive and the party preferred this guy.

        Moderate politics always reminds me of a basketball game where half of the players on one team bet they’d win, but not cover the spread

        So they end up still trying to beat the other team, but also sabotaging their own team so they don’t win by too much and lose their bet.

        Then when they end up losing, they blame the half of their teammates who were just trying to win.
