Showing Original Post only (View all)Don't be so complacent folks. Even if Dems have House/Senate/Presidency [View all]
Even when the Dems have that slim majority in the Senate, there are still Dems who often vote with the Cons, so there is still work to do. People like Joe Manchin more often than not, vote with RepubliCONs. We should not sit on our butts. We must remain active. If we are not active, and participate in our democracy, there are very well funded powers who will take it from us. This has been tried many times, and often we have escaped by the skin of our teeth. We must remain vigilant, or our democracy crumbles to nothingness.
