Splinters the Dem base?! Lmao they’re just gonna break up the MAGA asshats and I’m ok with that. Now if there was a viable progressive candidate, then the Democrats might have to worry and drop some of the neolib handsitting
Looking at the data from state to state, shifts are happening, not to mention the uncommits in recent weeks.
True, progressive candidates went to the democrats to die off…
