Here is the final post by Prue who left DU her first day after being flamed and accused.

52. First of all, we made no promises to Dreamers other than we would do our best.

We simply don't have the power to make such promises.Schumer should have said that explicitly. I suppose he figured people would understand that when they don't support Democrats and allow GOP 'evildoers' to take every branch of government, there is only so much Democrats can do to protect the stupid (those who didn't vote Democratic) and folks like Dreamers who couldn't vote from the consequences of a Trump presidency combined with a Republican congress. We will have another go in two weeks but honestly, I don't think it will work. And then as Schumer said the only thing we have left is that deporting a million young people to places they can't remember will not play well with the public.If the public yawns and shrugs, then it is over.

All these unaffiliated voters are part of the problem...They hold Democrats to a very high standard...really an impossible standard while giving the GOP a pass. The fact is Prue if you are reading this. There will never be perfection in politics. Democrats don't have the power because folks who look and sound much like you decided the 'parties' are the same. They are not. Those who didn't vote for Hillary Clinton and other Democrats are the reason Democrats can't help Dreamers. You play the progressive... just too good for the imperfect Democratic Party (unaffiliated) and then you think you should come here and advise us on our faults (how dare you;you are not a Democrat) Those who didn't support clinton in 16 have blood on their hands. Hell, I was delighted and surprised we got CHIP and have thus far saved the ACA. Our leaders have worked hard to spare us the worst the GOP has to offer...and mostly succeeded- better than I expected. So we have an election in a few months...if your folks don't see the need to vote Democratic than they are hopeless. The only party who can stop Trump is the Democratic Party so if you don't vote Democratic than you enable Trump and the GOP. No progressive should have to be 'coaxed'. If you truly want to help join the party and lend a hand otherwise...with all due respect (not really) , don't tell us what we need to do because seriously you have no credibility.
