Here is why we might be in real big trouble.

I chat on a youtube chat of a progressive talk show, I say progressive because sadly the host defines themself that way.

I say sadly because the host is too smart to do that, but has yet to figure out that anything other than Democrat or Democratic or Liberal is the problem.

Anyway on this show's youtube chat there is a chatter who non stop attacks the D party and the mainstream candidates of the party and I non stop support liberal causes and the party.

Guess which one of us got a stern warning from the moderator who is a big fan of the host, yep.

If it is common out there and "hip" STILL to attack the party, to support candidates who probably cant win OR worse to NOT support the Democratic candidate that is running in November because they are not "pure" enough, well, do I have to go on?

edit: I say VOTE for any democrat and the more likely to win Democrat! I know, I am nuts.

once your person loses, cry for a few minutes, and get out there and pull the lever for the D on the ballot. Because you can either vote for someone who shares 90% of your beliefs or 0%. If you stay home instead of voting for the former, you are basically casting a vote for the latter.

Stop sulking

Live to fight another day

Vote D

If some on the "not-for Dump" side are too arrogant or stupid to simply work to take the country back ASAP, then there is not much we can do and they should never complain about the state of politics, the environment, the nation and the world.

Don't cut off your nose to spite your face dummies.
