Left-wing activists and members of Congress joined together on a conference call on Monday to outline their “progressive” demands for a future round of federal relief aimed at the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
The call was hosted by MoveOn.org and a host of other left-wing groups, including the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
Rep.

I agree with this article.

Americans want socialism. They will enjoy communism once they finally get it. Stay home get currency. Who doesn’t want that?
1:06 as opposed to not doing anything to slow the spread or increase testing?
Scary scary, absentee ballots are so scary. If only we had yeas of experience with absentee ballots, like having our overseas military use them......
great, even more dead people will be voting in Maryland now!
NO!!!!! NO MAIL-IN VOTING.

I agree with you
Most Americans want socialism
They can’t wait for the government to take care of them
It shall not happen!
You are a fat, fascist asshole and I hope your business fails.
VOTER FRAUD
2:20 Hmmm if only there wasn’t nationwide rampant voter fraud going on it wouldn’t be so scary🙄
928 there isnt. This is a fantasy that you allowed Trump and Rush Limbaugh to sell you on. With the bevy of studies and investigations, including Trump's own investigation team, that still cant find real evidence, me thinks you should admit to either being delusional or just not competent enough to cast a vote

sorry not sorry. We will fight in the streets if necessary, to prevent socialism from infecting our country.
