      electing someone who even understands what their job even is seems to be a welcome change. Schumer claims his whole job is keeping the dems in line with what a foreign power wants.

The president and judiciary also dont seem to understand what their jobs are anymore. Cops too, no frickin idea what they do exactly.

      TBF he’s renegged on a lot of his plans and watered down all of his enacted ones.

      Pretty normal for the DNC.
