We're doomed, I'm afraid

[thegoose]

We only have our honesty as defense. But in a world of lies, we have nothing. The Pukes have all the powers of hell. It doesn't look good. And Dump reigns supreme. Fuck.

1. Stop it with the Debbie Downer stuff. That's what they want us to think.

[thegoose]

3. Please tell me something good

And I don't mean it sarcastically. All I see is this ancient piece of shit winning it all.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. There are more of us than there are of them.

[Patterson]

10. And we're smarter than them.

[Meadowoak]

21. We still have our souls, the R's have sold theirs to the highest bidder!

[pnwmom]

20. That someday you will have to look back on your life and you'll want to know

that you tried, and encouraged everyone around you to try.

[Love-All]

2. Yeah, don't give up hope.

[rustydog]

4. Then I will go down kicking and punching

I will not stand idly by as the GOP and Trump ruin my country.
We beat Nixon. We can beat the crap out of this serial sexual offender who stole money from a Children's Cancer Charity, a man who cheated on his wives with soft-porn stars...We are BETTER that this!

[Frasier Balzov]

6. What I prefer to think is that the House of Representatives

became a Democratic majority body because the American People recognized the need for stronger oversight of the Executive.

That need has become even more apparent since the 2018 election.

To the point that the need for stronger oversight has given way to a mandate for replacement.

Stronger oversight has failed. Replacement of the Executive through the electoral process is the remedy now.

12. Welcome to DU.

GOTFV. We can do this.

[Aussie105]

7. So we are doomed?

And everything is hopeless?

But you are not depressed enough to not bother to post that?

Mmmm, ok then.

Best stop spreading such negativity unless you want people to think you are a SDG (Spreader of Doom and Gloom) with an ulterior motive.
Someone might even accuse you of being an un-American non-Democrat!

Actually, honesty is no defense. Resilience, strength as individuals and as a group are what is needed. And a resolve to set things right.
And solid leadership with plans for the future.
Democrats as a whole have those characteristics in truck loads.

8. Good advice

Thank you.

[dhill926]

9. Have a nice strong cocktail...

and wake up tomorrow ready to fight. Works for me...

[thegoose]

11. Yeah!

[MontanaMama]

13. It's amazing how many times

I’ve fallen into bed deflated and depressed from the news of the day since 11/8/16...only to wake up ready to kick ass and take names....sometimes it’s the fighting spirit that I see here on DU that picks me up.

[Initech]

19. Let's get bombed!!!!

[coti]

14. This isn't realistic. You're not seeing how, as bad as things are, the overall structure and ideal

of the US is holding.

[struggle4progress]

15. Life isn't always a rose garden. Naval-gazing and self-pity don't have a good track record

Without struggle there can be no progress

[yortsed snacilbuper]

16. We only have one way to go,

UP!

[Joinfortmill]

17. No, that stupid treasonous phuck will not win.

Keep the faith, contribute to some down ballot campaigns if you can, and vote blue no matter who.

[handmade34]

18. turn that fear to anger...

We Got This!!!!
