John Fetterman is what happens when Democrats don't nominate real Democrats.

Right now 'Fairshake' Crypto PAC along with AI PACs and AIPAC are spending billions to nominate politicians who will do their bidding.

This amounts to a takeover of the Democratic Party from #WeThePeople

Be aware of these sellouts and VOTE FOR THE OTHER GUY.

That didn’t happen. That’s on Netanyahu.

The Coinbase-backed "Stand With Crypto" advocacy group has declared Illinois Senate candidate Juliana Stratton to be "strongly against crypto" solely because she made a statement criticizing the $5.5 million the crypto industry had already spent to oppose her
