But my guess is that there's a fair amount of coke available to GOPers, especially wherever Don Jr. and Matt Gaetz are hanging out.

...taking a knee, it's performative. Performative and symbol politics seems to really work in the USA.

I used to be a diet coke guy until I tried W-D's "chek" brand of diet cola.

It's cheaper, sweeter, and less carbonated. I highly recommend.

Other aspects of W-D as a supermarket, not so much. Dingy-looking store with expensive products.

They do this only because they think it will somehow "work" or "do something." What it reveals, though, is that the group of voters for which they are performing has become so small that this will be politically devastating. I guess they are performing, as they say, "to a party of one."
