Whether or not Sharpton had the makings of a good President he was absolutely correct in noting he had a decades-long record of political activism and social policy. Certainly far more political experience than either Ramaswamy or the last Republican Presidential candidate.

the title of the the cnn embed really tells the whole sad story of the american news media’s failures and collapse and an example of murc’s law in action, to wit-- only democrats have agency in american politics.

your comment, regrettably, says many more things about you than it does of the target of your invective. in a time of trump, desantis, and clarence thomas any comparison of sliminess outside that trio definitely requires a great deal of proof and attribution.
