If 40% of America are against impeachment, still support Trump, what do you think that means for the

Democratic Party in 2018 if purity movements get hold?

Like I have said in the past, there needs to be a nationwide training seminar for people to learn how the TWO PARTY system works.

For instance, let's say you have a candidate who is a democrat running for the house who is anti choice and anti gay rights.

His or her opponent in the GOP are also, of course. People need to understand why they still have to vote for him or her, and I dont think they do.

Or why primarying someone who CANT win in the general, takes away a SEAT from the party which gives control to the other party and in our 2 party system the party with the control gets EVERYTHING done their way.

I sometimes feel like a lone voice about this. So I am asking for your help.

Please get involved and tell people about this. Tell them why not voting or ever voting 3rd party is suicide.

BTW,. if Manchin in WV is primaried by someone too liberal to win in the general, GOP gets another Senate seat, secures power that can destroy America.

Discuss.

Or thereabouts who don't support him, but don't support impeachment yet.

Meaning, this number can easily erode further, and even the 36% can continue to erode.

And, of course, on how many will still be allowed to cast a ballot.

actively prevented from voting

That alone accounts for the alleged victory in the EC.
