4 more years of Harris without Biden, same policies, same cognitive dissonance, same diversity over capabilities, Yay, progressives rule.

yeah this sure didn't age well 😂 thanks for contributing to the downfall of this country. Joe Biden was the biggest mistake any Democrat ever voted for, so much so that they're ashamed these days for making that decision.

Well, no need for this podcast to have ever aired, y'all proved the only way to beat Trump was to cheap and boy did y'all! Trump worked hard to get this country back into shape and it had taken biden a few months to tear this country down and apart. all of you out there believing all this BS that's being delt out might wanna get that sheep wool out of your eyes and ears and start seeing the truth before it's completely too late and this country is completely ran into the dirt! you might wanna ask all your other x- sheep how they came about the truth and came over to the light.
