GOP radicals take note. Americans who believe in democracy need to get politically engaged. And vote.
Keeping republican legislatures from negating our votes would help. Ye hear that Manchin…
Jeri, there in lies the problem.
A great speech. It will live on. It will outlive Joe Biden. I just hope it does not outlive American democracy.
