    Kamala “I’m Speaking” Harris never intended to do anything OTHER than speaking. Seems the democrat establishment doesn’t want any of us remembering that TALK IS CHEAP.

    And even then, they refused to have anyone but the old guard speak. Palestinians to help bridge the people who are unhappy with both parties supporting murder? Nah, why do that?

    Democrats think words speak louder than actions. A strongly worded tweet stops trump and musk from taking over the government. A donational pledge stops transphobia and racism.

      Identity politics is the chief weakness of Dems. Dems do that way too much rather than not enough.

      TALK IS CHEAP.

      Her “talk” wasn’t very effective. She should have called Trump a fascist and traitor and rapist and corrupt and incompetent every single day. Her rhetoric was shit.
