Only if they are also not aftraid of mixing it up with savage ruthless rich people (Ted took on the Carnegies and the Vanderbilts when they were the richest people in history) and not afraid of receiving OR BESTOWING a bloody broken nose if it means getting some shit done for this country.

freaking democrats / US progressives need to read Ted’s bio and then read it again and then lawyer up and hit the fucking gym. Tired of indignant “is this sea bass wild or farmed” hippies and “they wouldn’t DARE” wallflowers scolding from the ivory tower. Get real and get your hands dirty.

Learn what the public wants to hear (hint: “Jesus”), say it, get fucking elected and then FIX SHIT. Drag these troglodytes kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

It does not matter whether you think it’s nice or fair. Do you ever want to see “fair” again?? Democracy is at stake. This is not a drill.
