When Brad Bradford, Ford or the John Tory stans blather on about how the city was so much better before Chow, just laugh at them.

middle class workers @ryanlindsay.bsky.social · 18/09/2026@profgalloway.com Idea: Trump wants people to think he's on the ballot this fall. How about Dems ie Ossof, Talarico, AOC, Whitmer offer to debate him? If he accepts, Republicans lose. If he declines, same. He likely can't help but accept and would then have a Biden-like debate crashout. #midterms26 020
