The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.
Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

I’m old enough to remember that if Biden even looked tired, the media would go on for days that he’s too old, and the Gaslighting in Overdrive Party (GOP) would be screaming to high heaven how senile & decrepit he is. Trump literally falls asleep in a cabinet meeting and 🥱.
