BLAH Special - Fighting Trump, with Frank Spring
Q: If you would now be in charge, the dictator of the DNC campaign to elect Biden in 2024, what is your message?
Validate their experience and highlight that it is now paying to work in America again.
BLAH Special - Fighting Trump, with Frank Spring
Q: What do you exactly mean by 'it is too expensive to be a person'?
It's cost of living. It costs a lot for healthcare, childcare, and all other essentials.
BLAH Special - Fighting Trump, with Frank Spring
Q: Would your position be that this is essentially not Donald Trump's election to win, but Biden's to lose?

It's a symptom of a phenomena that was already happening in the Republican Party, and an accelerant of that.
