A General thread for 2024 Presidential Elections

Volkonski wrote: Sat Feb 17, 2024 1:24 pm In his X post, Phillips called on supporters to donate so he could stay in the race — claiming a majority of Americans believe Biden is “too old” and the GOP front-runner, former President Trump, is “to corrupt.”
Unfortunately, Phillips is "too stupid"
