I hope the Democrats understand this about their voters.

We have had enough of this fucking bullshit. We don't want to hear, we have to bring the country together. We have to work with the Republicans. We must compromise, We must look forward, not backwards, No fucking way.

The Democratic voters believe Trump and the Republicans have betrayed the constitution and the nation, because they have.

We believe they are liars and they can never be trusted, because they are.

We believe they are corrupt assholes who should be removed from office and many of them should be indicted, then jailed.

We believe the Republican voters are a bunch of ignorant fools who are a major threat to our national security, because they are.

I hope the Democrats understand their voters are tired of putting up with traitors. We don't want to play nice, we don't believe Republicans will ever do what's right. We want them out of power, period. Then we want them to pay a price for what they have done. We believe the Republicans are going to destroy our Democracy.

stop expecting them to have any honor whatsoever. We can't work with them. We need to destroy them, or they will destroy our democracy. If they haven't already.

For months, the pundits were saying we couldn't win unless we talked about bread and butter issues and that we should stop attacking Trump so relentlessly, but now more of them are admitting we have to make this election about one thing and one thing only: removal of Trump and his cult Republicans.

Others may disagree, but that is where my head is at today.

take the power back from his cronies in congress. Otherwise, Trump will continue to reward himself and his big money donors at the expense of the rest of Americans.

and Trump 2nd. Biden attacked Trump first, but then has slowly faded because the debates and town halls were almost all about policy. Now, Bloomberg comes in attacking Trump as well, but has surged in the polls and gotten a bunch of endorsements. So, I guess that's about timing and money?
