      >Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) fumed many of her fellow Democratic politicians “do not care” about helping Black people — and that is a big reason why Black Americans “have not advanced” as far as they should have by 2026.

      >Crockett went on by saying attendees should go to local, state, and federal government buildings like the House of Representatives and confront lawmakers who aren’t doing enough to support Black Americans.

      >Crockett told the crowd on Saturday that she lost because of the color of her skin, not her policies or appeal to voters. She said that wasn’t a big shock in the USA. “It was racist. It was a racist race. It is what it is, right?” Crockett said. “But we live in America as ya’ll are celebrating 250. We know what this country is.”

      I do not think she is helping

      >Fetterman tells those who backed Platner to “sit it out” on a possible replacement

      Holy shit, it’s almost all the same people who supported you in 2022. Jesus, this charlatan thinks we’re so stupid. It’s so fucking insulting

      Don’t forget that this was Fetterman’s message two weeks after [Platner’s Nazi tattoo was revealed](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HJ0uxnAW0AEM6fA.png?name=orig)

      Between the McConnell situation and that rep who was missing for 3 months and just walked back into office, I think big step to fix Congress would be passing some sort of attendance policy.

      I have had no human contact other than a brief pleasantry with a stranger over the past week. I’m sad. I miss you. How did this happen?

      I hate joke candidates like Count Binface. But I have to admit that the idea of him winning against Farage because his constituents don’t care enough about Farage’s stunt to turn up and vote…

      Easy mistake to make. He’s mentally fine
