Do people actually care what this absolute corporate tool has to say about anything? Or did people just vote for D instead of abstaining or voting for a decent 3rd party if it was available?

You missed "nepo baby" in your descriptions of Phillips, so I just wanted to make sure people have a full accounting of his lack of working class credits.

Adopted step-son of the Phillips distilling family heir who attended one of the most prestigious private schools in Minnesota.
