23. Don't understand

Sat Apr 18, 2026, 10:08 PM

Saturday

I don't follow your reply, sorry.

I will say that I am very suspicious of Platner and others like Sweyer in California. I'd hate to see another Sinema or Fetterman.

It was just that the message from the text that was in the post doesn't bother me too much.
