Attention USA: “When Are More Americans Going to Speak Up?” - Mocking MAGA all day every day is not “Speaking Up” about the mockery, it is being a part of the total mockery. People are unable to be serious.

“This is a time when America needs moral leadership, and not political leadership.”

“And so as much as we want to point a finger at people who are elected to positions, which is justified, I also want to ask a lot of other powerful people in this country who are remaining silent. We’ve seen what many corporate leaders are doing right now—instead of speaking up and speaking truth, they’re kowtowing for their own private deals.”

    “Moral leadership”, as he takes money from Israel in the form of PAC money, and only half-heartily voted against some of the arms sent to Israel. Yeah, no thanks. He is still a fake progressive.

      100% this

      The writer of this article can fucking blow me. Let’s stop pretending Booker, Jeffries, Schumer, or any of the dem leadership has any semblance of sense. I’ll give a shit what they have to say when they stop being idiots waving their hands. It’d be nice to see them actually do something.

    The voters on all sides need to take ownership of the shitshow that is on grand display first. The republicans for supporting him, the Dems for fucking it up and the special virtue signalling morons for sitting it out. That’s not gonna happen. All sides are entrenched in their opinions and blame the others for this.
