3. They're too busy beating themselves...
Thu Mar 16, 2023, 08:28 PM
Mar 2023

with attacks on women's rights, homosexual rights, voting rights, responsible gun laws, education, and libraries. And also all those Republicans who are OK with Russian aggression, and who want to end or at least greatly reduce Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and any other program that actually helps people.
Not to mention the whole concept of people being awake, as opposed to their brain-dead, zombie base.
They're so busy pissing off everybody to please their base that they haven't given any thought as to how small their base really is.
President Biden is doing a really good job, and his state of the union address showed he's still got the mental ability to carry the nation forward.
They should just keep on believing President Biden is weak and ineffectual...it will make it easier for use to win in 2024.
