Lol, having a decades old friend send you a misogynistic meme, going along with it because you don't actually believe in anything, and then having that friend turn around and give the whole exchange to the press because you're a shitty judge of character who's surrounded themselves with grifter assholes is, like, the most moderate Dem thing I could imagine

This man should not be making begrudging remarks on the appearances of anyone.

Has he looked at AOC or Ilhan Omar like, ever?
Nevermind that attractiveness isn't even what people should look for in this case. This ain't a beauty competition.

It sucks that this is relevant, but a lot of elections are won through media. Ever since JFK won against Nixon because of TV performance, it's been downhill. Republican representatives put in huge cosmetic work to achieve a certain appearance, because they know it makes them attractive to voters.

It's not real though. Democratic woman are hot as fuck. Their example of an ugly Democratic woman is someone no one ever talks about who's in her 80s when AOC is one of the most famous Democratic politicians. The whole Squad is beautiful. It's just the sort detached from reality brain rot that propagates on conservative social media.

And how does his wife of 4 years feel about the fact that he's publically running around with his tail out?

Edit: he said this, but from the article he somehow thinks his defence is at least partially

we shouldn't be trying to exclude more people.

Unbelievable.

Despite the insulting manner of his texts, he doubled down on the message, saying the private conversation was "a reflection of what I've been saying the whole time."

T.V. is the stomping ground for political candidates Where bears in the woods are chased by Grecian Formula'd bald eagles T.V. is mechanized politic's remote control over the masses co-sponsored by environmentally safe gases watch for the PBS special It's the perpetuation of the two party system where image takes precedence over wisdom Where sound bite politics are served to the fastfood culture Where straight teeth in your mouth are more important than the words that come out of it Race baiting is the way to get selected Willie Horton or Will he not get elected on..

Can't wait for Blue MAGA face.
