@SidhomLydia @gretchenwhitmer @ChairmanBuckley @ericswalwell @janekleeb @MaxwellFrostFL @JasmineForUS @MarkPocan @AyannaPressley @PramilaJayapal @SeanCasten Steven Cheung weighs in on the Dem cursing trend.
So Democrats are saying “fuck” a lot more, not because of authenticity, but because they think it’s good politics. What a bunch out-of-touch losers.
