STRONG Democratic field in our future but is there a future?

Rump works for Putin, rump and many others.

Putin wants to destroy us.

Our government is shut down and the shutdown is controlled by Putin.

Shit.

I just hope one of our candidates wins the White House. Cant wait to learn more about them, see their tax returns, etc.

We do have very strong candidates and I think we will retake the WH. This shutdown is trump's and most people know it.

redumbliCONS removed sanctions on Russia and Oleg Deripaska, then confirmed their continued Senate support for removal of Russian sanctions today. Unbelievable.

And that terrifies the GOP, and will probably inspire them to intensify their voter suppression.

Dems have had many legislative and electoral victories the past two years, they control the House, Mueller and the SDNY are going strong, and I could go on and on about the positives we have had to give us hope. I don't want to rain on your gloomy vision but yes there will be a future.

For most people looking at all the good things that have been accomplished in the last two years by Democrats is a positive. That generally makes people want to keep fighting and not give up. But if you get off on being a negative nancy go right ahead. Not sure why you try to make a post about not being so negative into such a bizarre attack but it obviously got under your skin. Hey maybe toss some glitter on yourself - that might help.

It was coherent enough for you to riff a paragraph. You keep your head in the sand, all's just fine....ahem.
Where's that LONG list of positives?

no question, at the very least there's a lot of repairs to be done when Democrats take over. problem is, by then, we might not have a country anymore.

i am deeply saddened that i have to say this TWICE in my lifetime: Worst. President. Ever.
