Freedom means not having a candidate forced on us that 70% of Americans don't want. Freedom means having a choice.

Anand is awesome. Need to hear more from him

[morganarenewed]

100% correct. Great summary of the divide by Anand.

Congratulations to dems in Colorado Springs and Jacksonville, Florida, for causing a massive republican meltdown 😆

As Putin did galvanise NATO so also should Trump be for the Democrats.

[GHSSINCE]

We had 8 years of Obama, we're going to have 8 years of Biden!!

The GOP's definition of "freedom" is back-asswards... Freedom for me, not for thee.

[douglasclinkscales]

Hes awesome. Liberals are always smarter. Having an open mind is the difference

[Broearlyoung]

Words matter and thier meanings made America AND has broken America

[jessycachil]

Wow 👌 This guy's analysis is spot on

[xlrtedzoom]

Anand described Trump and his MAGATS correctly. Never has a president spoken the way Trump speaks. He never has been presidential material now more than ever. Vote them all out!.

[ronkirk]

The GQP is all about freedom, but only for those they choose and only the things they define as freedom.

[ericschryver]

Language... the tool of liars. A couple of solid linguist here.

[CoolBreezeHeals]

My vote should count - get rid of the electoral college now.

[whererosemaryflourishes]

I think he meant visceral but point taken!

[middleguy]

Yea those vaccine mandates screamed freedom

[sherryjohnson]

I’m a Liberal but Biden doesn’t know what day it is or complete a sentence Lost in Space you want him for another 4 years Not Me
