      The two are pretty unlikely. Fatality rate for vaccinated people who take Paxlovid is quite low, and Harris polls almost identically to Biden

      This is the DNC we’re talking about. They’d just prop him up.

          The DNC would never give us even a weekend of Bernie. People would love it too much and might even start to believe in their own dignity, then they’d be demanding the rights that have been taken from them for so long and we can’t have all that.
