I don't understand how anyone cannot be outraged by a presidential candidate and his enablers blatantly and unashamedly attempting to pervert the election process.

The things that Democrats used to do so well have been co-opted and abused by the Repukes to the point where they've become meaningless.

I remember when the liberals, the Democrats, the progressives were the ones who used sit-ins, demonstrations, letter-writing campaigns, cancelling subscriptions, boycotting, righteous anger, etc. to accomplish our goals and to preserve justice in America. Now those tactics have been abused and cheapened by the Repukes for their own hateful racism and selfishness.

We sit on the sidelines and watch them tear down our once-great country, and it's all for twisted political "values" that aren't even values.

The Reptilican Party is trying to do that, with disastrous consequences to themselves.
