Bernie and AOC have a national platform, an energized base, and the infrastructure to gather small donations. Now they need winnable policies to back. It seems impossible in the MAGA-controlled government — unless they turn to state ballot initiatives.

Why would I trouble myself with what a spoiler like you thinks?

This is just putting you on display.

Thank you for acknowledging how wrong you were. It shows growth on your part. It the future, just keep opinions like the ones you are sharing here to yourself.

Pathetic is throwing an election because you couldn't find common cause with progressives. But again, I do want to thank you for at least recognizing that you need to do better. I appreciate that you'll be keeping your toxic perspective to yourself from now on.

Keep being cynical bud. Hopefully one day you'll feel something again and can take real action to solve problems. Blocking you now since I can only take so much second hand embarassment watching you squirm.

Hey no worries 😌 fam! I knew from the first response you gave you were operating in bad faith. Just needed the time to get you to put yourself on display, and you did so spectacularly.

The best bleach for the kind of toxicity you represent is sunlight, and there is no better way to do it, than to get you to do it yourself, which I was able to do here.

Everytime you do what you do, it gathers support to my cause, and you lose. If not for you letting the mask slip my task would be much harder. So like I said, I appreciate you and thank you🙏!
