Good morning to all-
We've all heard the old "I'm not a member of an organized political party.... I'm a Democrat," joke line. Never before has the element of cohesion and unity been more important and needed than now. And the Democrats can't get their stuff together enough to run a caucus. Not good.
Each of the potential Democratic candidates has a good idea or two. but none of them is complete enough to pull everyone who opposes the orange bloat together. I really am beginning to fear for the upcoming election results.
Meanwhile, the vile republicans running for election are filling the airwaves with their nasty, abusive election pitches- most of which amount to them saying " I am so far up tRump's backside, I can't see the sun at noon."
I disliked a number of republican politicians before. Nixon was a thief and a liar. Bush II was very limited. but for pure evil, meanness, and profound lack of intelligence, tRump is the worst. And I fear that the Democrats' lack of cohesion is going to bring us 4 more years of this curse and his vile supporters.
We can do better. We must do better. Vote the garbage out.
good day to all- Ed

I share your despair about the upcoming election ed . We need to get rid of McConnell who is as evil as trump. I donated to his opponent Amy McGrath. Hopefully, people in KY will realize what a scourge he is in the Senate and will get rid of him. Amy McGrath |

I try really hard to stay optimistic....you know, 'this crazy sh*t can't last forever' mood but today I'm really down too. Today I'm thinking...hey, I don't have many years left, I need to do SOMETHING to get out of this frustrating doom and gloom attitude that is overwhelming my life, I think I need to look for something to do that will help me stop dwelling on this disgusting man and his disgusting followers.

Even if something happened to him, nothing much will change as long a McConnell and other Republicans are in office. The V.P.is just a toady.

Folks, I'm sitting here watching the parade and program honoring our Kansas City Chiefs. Over one million... THAT'S MILLION WITH AN "M"... people along the streets of Kansas City celebrating the Super Bowl LIV win. The Chiefs were down 24 points against the Houston Texans in the first round of the playoffs. No team had ever come back from such a deficit to win a playoff game. Not only did they come back, but they won by 20!! Against the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Championship, they were down by 10... and won by 10! In the Super Bowl... down by 10 points with 7 minutes left and are Super Bowl Champs!!
Every day as we get closer to November 3, 2020 the outlook gets dimmer. The Democratic Party seems to be "all for one and all for one"!!! They, simply, won't seem to come together as the powerful message needed to defeat Trump. The Democratic faithful can't seem to open their mouths without stubbing their toes. Disappointing! Agonizing! But... we CANNOT give up!!
The difference with the Chiefs this year... the difference between the Chiefs and their competition has been the locker room. None of the Chiefs are bragging about themselves. Not one is pounding their chests and saying it's me... or it's him. They are saying, "We are here because of our TEAM!" Mahomes is great! Kelce is great! You can do down the line... but they have pulled for each other, not themselves. The Democratic Party, so far, has about as much division as does Congress! If MY candidate doesn't get the nomination, I won't vote!!! MY candidate deserves the nomination and yours is trash! So far... it's all about ME!! And, with that attitude, we'll never win in November.
I'm tired of debates where all we hear is one candidate telling how much better their agenda is than the person standing next to them. They need to be telling how much better the DEMOCRATIC agenda is than the GOP's and why!! I wish the next debate had no more than two participants. With the five or six, it will continue to be a "circular firing squad".
Teamwork! Together! We CAN and we WILL... if we can stop the childishness in the Democratic Party we complain about in the White House. This should not be about whether the candidate is male or female. This should not be about whether the candidate is of color or not. This should not be about whether the candidate is too far left or too moderate. This should be about a candidate that can pull the people together to defeat Trump and strong enough to roll back the damage he has done to OUR country!!!

2old you are on the money! The moderators must be asking questions in the debates about Trump's policies and how can the Democrats do better? Instead of stirring the Democrat pot. The candidates don't dislike each other, so why do they act they're each other's enemy? Get it together.

I'm not giving up or giving in. It ain't over till it's over.
I don't need to be excited about a candidate. I need to vote for her or him.
Trump has a cult following. A following of ignorant, angry, racist slime balls who tolerated a Black president, but by golly, they put their foot down when it came to wimmin folk or Gays.
They are church going folk who adore a lying sexual predator, among other things. Crazy times.
We do NOT have to be perfect. We have to be united and we have to vote this slime out.
However, I did hear one of the Trump kids manufacture voting machines. What could possibly go wrong with that?

True, very true...we probably won't have an exciting candidate like Obama was but the elected Democrat President is going to have his/her hands full just righting the wrong that Trump has done...what a waste of precious time and money...I can see in a few years his stupid wall being bulldozed down...at a great cost. |

I'm in the same place as you are, Kady. I'm just so disgusted and heartsick about what's going on that it's really affected me. It's kind of like watching someone die, and in this case the "someone" is the country I've loved so and believed in all my life.
Like you, I need to find something to get interested in that will stop the dwelling on, but it's hard when you are being constantly reminded of all the awful stuff going on whenever you turn on any kind of media.
