Trump’s tanking polls.

Big money from AI, crypto, and AIPAC.

Progressive Democrats laser focused on affordability.

Then they start whining about how they can't do anything without control of the presidency.

Whiny-bitch Democrats are just fascists with no backbone. If they're in a position to make a difference that they seeked and choose not to, then they're endorsing the status quo.

I'll still take it over those who'd accelerate the change, of course. But being "less fascist" doesn't mean they aren't at all.

The Republicans didn't get this far to not win.
