We find ourselves in a seriously abusive relationship with GQP

[pandr32]

Our Framers' intended a major two-party system to temper progress in order to have a better nation for all.

Instead of an exchange of ideas and compromise we find ourselves in a very dysfunctional system (like an abusive relationship) where one side bullies, gaslights, blames, controls, intimidates, threatens, resorts to violence, and will burn down the house in order to dominate and maintain power over the other--us Democrats.

I do not see any chance of RepubliQans taking responsibility and making amends--they are no longer capable, so what do we do going forward?

2. K&R, kGQP is longer an opposition party of democratic ideals. They don't want democracy they've

... been screaming that to us for years seeing they started voter suppression before Trump.

The current character of the kGQP needs to go, they're not a force for good with Moscow Mitch and McCarthy at the lead

[pandr32]

14. Agreed!

4. Move on without them.

Hope that they eventually catch up with us.

As for them catching up--doesn't look like that is on the horizon.

9. As we must!

11. Hi!!

[CanonRay]

7. Get rid of filibuster, then admit DC, Puerto Rico, and V.I.

Fuck em.

[pandr32]

12. I'm all for admitting DC, Puerto Rico, and VI

...but not as a tactic to win. Those Americans deserve to have proper representation in our democracy.
