Second in a series. Can we go one day without a defeatist thread?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Asking for a friend.

1. Yes

That day will be scheduled sometime in 2019.

[get the red out]

2. Probably not today

I feel pummelled, I might not be alone.

4. When I'm down I think of what my heroes did in the face of adversity for inspiration.

9. I do too, but I'm running out of Japanese high power lines

3. Just answering for a pal: With all our new friends . . . . .

. . . . here on the DU, how can we be anything but positive and upbeat?

Lots of uplifting stories showing our party unity in the face of the GOP.

5. I don't feel defeated so much as disgusted.

The whole thing is mind-blowing.

6. It's one battle in a long war.

[Jacquette]

8. Me too

Because the scope of it is breathtaking. This is why I'm so upset with Comey. He seems so freaking LEISURELY about everything; he compared this to Watergate in that there are so many moving pieces that it can't be hurried.

That's wearing thin. He's been in this since last summer and he has enough at least on DT's minions to start cutting throats right now, I know he does. This is NOTHING like Watergate. He cannot linger on this as the the people Trump put in high positions harden in place and begin instituting policy.

had a nice turn of phrase on a thread early this morning that fits here as well:

We are our own miracle if we want it.

Don't give up: resist, insist, persist, enlist. We are the majority; don't let them forget it.

10. I do not belong to an organized political party.

I am a Democrat.
