1. Right on!

[Trust Buster]

2. Get back to me when Democrats actually show up to vote in midterm elections.

Until then it's just idle talk.

3. Get back to me when . . .

. . . before recruiting candidates, the DNC starts asking voters tor whom the will turn out instead of asking the Wall Street mafia to whom they will donate tainted cash.

4. Deflection. Movements start at the grass roots with state and congressional candidates.

Until I see action there, it's all just empty talk.

5. You may have a point there, Buster

We'll start in 2018 with primary campaigns against egregious Democratic establishmentarians. If the3y don't like it, they can join the more natural allies in the GOP.

6. Corbyn's a success? That's funny. Their most recent local election results were disappointing.

And they're polling terribly for the next election even with the Tories being a totally flipping mess. And the Tories always come back.

7. Did you watch the video?

That was brought up and explored in it. Labour lost 23 council seats, but nowhere the 170 or so the British corporate media prognosticated.

You're right, the Tories are a mess. The numbers really don't bode well for either party.
