Are they taking advantage of a demented old man, or is he getting a cut?

AOC: “People are getting denied surgeries, medicines, prescriptions are super expensive — and this administration is responsible for it and rewarding them for it — we have to bring it to a stop”
I don't think there's any "suddenly" about it. They've seen it coming for a while. I think they underestimated the size of the vote though. 2016 and 2024 were small enough to steal. It's harder to steal a landslide.
