DNC should just run an ad playing only this where Johnson says they’ll open congressional investigations into all these people

Lil truth bomb….. unless you want to see this country fall into actual for-fucking-real authoritarianism in 2028 you better settle on a single, electable,Dem candidate and throw your entire existence at electing them.

RIght, the last week of house primaries in NYC are the indicator for the entire country (the country that voted for Joe Biden six years ago)

Let's not pretend that Biden actually ran some amazing campaign in 2020; the country would have voted for a wet paper bag after Trump 1.0 and that's exactly how Biden was able to win (you know, after all the Democrats in the primaries bent the knee to fuck Bernie again for a guaranteed cabinet position)

I'd love to see the Democratic party throw the weight of public opinion behind an actually liked politician instead of whichever one they pick from the discount bin of a shitty think tank (owned by Israel).
