Dearborn is home to one of the largest concentrations of Arab Americans and has traditionally been a Democratic stronghold. But this year that all changed.

    Someone said something in the YouTube comments of a political video I was watching yesterday that really resonated with me:

    “I wish the Democrats could find someone who talks about billionaires the same way Donald Trump talks about immigrants.”

    Unlimited money in politics is the poison in our society. When money = speech, billionaires will always have the loudest voice in the room.

        Yes, but he’s far too old at this point to run. We don’t have anybody on the left who is a rockstar dem-socialist except for maybe AOC, and Democrats are probably not going to run another woman in the race for POTUS for another 50 years after these last two embarrassing defeats, so I wouldn’t get my hopes up for that.

        Meanwhile, the right is grooming an entire cadre of Trump’s successors so they can keep the MAGA gravy train rolling long after the evil bastard croaks.
