Obama won on hope in 2008

He almost lost on doom and gloom in 2012.
We all lost on doom and gloom and scorched earth predictions in 2016.

DNC, YOU MUST SHOW US HOW TO BE HOPEFUL IN 2020.

DNC and all campaign managers must go back to showing the voters the disastrous incompetence of the GOP, and filling us with hope and demonstrations of Dem capabilities and empathy.

I refuse to fund anyone spreading scorched earth messages. You have been warned.

If Democrats can't close this, I'm switching to Independent, and I'm a 35 year Democrat, this is unacceptable cowardice!

Democrat=doormat otherwise.

Quit being such rule following super nits, punch Moscow Mitch in the nose 150 times! Kick him there 200 more times! That evil fuck single-handedly fucked things up & Merrick Garland would like a word!?!

Show some fiery passion in those punchy oral arguments damn it & quit fucking reading from notes!

When Mitch is up there spewing bullshit, I want to hear BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT chants on CSPAN in the background!

Let alone the list of evil cowardly money grubbing beyond the pale monsters we all want sent to pasture.

Obama did not almost lose in 2012, he got 332 EC votes. And if you think the Trump response to this virus will exist in a vacuum politically you are sorely mistaken. This election WILL be a referendum on Fat Donnie and his response will be front and fucking center and WILL be exploited. I’m not sure what your point is, really.
