Dems/media condemning Joe for pardoning Hunter right after a psycho who has spent 4 years ranting that he was going to go after him is the most toxic kind of phony virtue signaling imaginable. Don’t forget to pat yourselves on the back from your perches on the moral high ground.

One year ago, Kash Patel, while sniffling repeatedly as he does in every interview (he just can’t shake that cold) promised to prosecute Hunter for new crimes. Then Trump names him FBI Director. He told you ahead of time he’s going after Hunter. So tired of the pearl clutchers.

If you can look back at how the Hunter Biden prosecution was handled and why it even happened in the first place and say "yes, Democrats must tolerate this" what you are doing is contributing to the creation of a double-standard in which Democrats must tolerate malicious prosecutions for optics.

I am such a believer in this. Down-ballot is the way.
It’s also how we build a sustainable future of good leaders and infrastructure to elect and support them, as well as the movements they represent.
We don’t just need strong candidates. We need strong organizers, managers, CoS, grassroots, etc.

I’ve been organizing in rural areas since the first Trump administration. Rural Dems can make the difference in races at the top of the ticket.
Republicans have all of the electorate they’re ever going to have. Organize to turn out 5% to 10% more Dems in rural spaces. Watch what happens…
