Pritzker is meeting the moment and if he stands up for the people, stands up against Trump's rein of terror, holds ICE accountable, he can elevate himself as a front runner for Dem leadership.

I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

as free press effectively takes over cbs news, keep in mind that democratic investments in media have been minimal -- at best -- and the party and its donors continue to light money on fire for dumb campaign bullshit that makes consultants rich but doesnt win elections or change the narrative
