(15,435 posts)I had some things to do and then watched the Festival on MSNBC. At least THEY covered it, made me feel good for a "little" while. Then I wake up this A.M. and ANOTHER shooting in Ferguson... here we go again! If the 2 guys who shot the "police occifer are black, well WE know how that's going to go down! More disgusting attacks on how black people are the ones at fault.
Granted there are times when blacks are at fault, but what we are seeing with the "shoot" ask questions later is mind boggling and a disgrace at the very least.
I have many fears that I see on the horizon and am extremely concerned that it does look like Repukes will take the Senate! Then we can just sit back and watch how fast Congress starts passing legislation and touting how THEY are the party who can get things done! Try as I might working GOTV I'm again appalled by what I'm running into. Not only apathy, but even finding many who don't even know there's an election on Nov. 4!
I wish I felt more confident that Dems will be able to keep the Senate, but if they do, will they even start hitting back and fighting much, much harder against so much crap that Tea Party yo-heads are pushing upon us? I see some steps forward with events like yesterday and the climate change march the weekend before, but not sure if it's going to help with the election in November.
