Watch: Obama Appears in Cringeworthy Get-Out-the-Vote TikTok Video ⋆ Flag And Cross

One man’s national security threat is another’s legitimate platform to encourage American leftists to go vote, I guess.

I mean, I guess there’s only so much I can blame the Democratic Party for throwing every hail Mary they can think of to try to rescue something — anything — from the coming red wave that just seems every day to be a little bigger than it was the day before.
