Democrats are anti business, over taxation and regulations, causes the cost of living to go so sky high, it creates more poverty and drug and alcohol use. Rents and homes end up costing too high. Democrats won’t even open up there economy until after the election, for political.

Dem rioters burned and looted businesses. Dems push keeping businesses close because of the Chinese virus, many never to reopen. We’re in a hostage situation. Vote Dem or they keep destroying America.

The Chamber of Commerce is deep state.

TheDemocrats excitedly embracing of this toxic vehicle for the 1% AND the endorsement of a guy who basically killed ppl onetoughnerd is really making inroads with energizing the disenfranchised parts of their base 😝
