In reply to the discussion: Even if we win the House and/or Senate we will not be in a better country. [View all]lancelyons
(988 posts)38. For me, this is one of the first hings Dems need to begin working on
We need to fix what is broken today.
Fox News and the like need to be reigned in. I am not sure how you do that since we have the 1st amendment but the 1st amendment should not allow generalized states about people or groups of people like the evil left or even though its true ( the evil right).
News should be news.
We need to change the rules of our government. We should not have guidelines for a president like they cant be subpoenaed or cant be indicted. Or rules that allow a president to not submit tax returns or use his office to personally enrich themselves.
We have to add in rules to fix our democracy.
These fixes should be as high a priority as the economy and healthcare.

Saying this is worse than the Civil War is nothing less than absurdity.

If we win the House we can block a lot of what Trump and R's do, and we can INVESTIGATE. Chill down.

I think in this case, due to the Dotard, once we've fallen, we can't get up.

To do what? All we can do is try to avoid even worse damage to this country.

No doubt, we have to rally around a candidate who can unite our party and the country.
