flyingcement Posted January 24, 2024 Share Posted January 24, 2024 Both of the two major parties are so incredibly pathetic. Hopefully we don't see weak people who are bullied into the idea that votes only matter if for D or R. This is a braindead idea, and if you encounter someone that thinks that, you can probably discount most other things they have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
