(7,888 posts)our chances improve when we put our efforts and cash in supporting Democrats for office. Who would vote for anyone if their campaign message was "I can not win"?

(5,407 posts)If we nominate a great presidential candidate who can explain rational policies to the American people and
if our nominees for the senate can do likewise. does that translate into a senate majority? I hope so but I am not confident.
this election can also be a disaster that adds sen seats and flips the house returning full control to president trump, who might go so far as seek to remove his term limits.
