130. we would work with candidates

If we had six figure checks to write them so that we actually got more than lip service. Sadly, there's a great deal of truth to this op! Whether we like it or not, the democrats probably deserve to lose this election! We should have the republicans on the ropes nationwide on nearly every substantive issue but we don't because our candidates/elected officials are giving them a pass because they need the same campaign donations albeit, sometimes, from marginally different sources to get elected. The affordable care act is the most glaring of these issues. There are far too many races all over the country where the democrats have simply given a pass to the republicans for being astronomically and consistently wrong about the efficacy of the aca. Democrats are running away from some of president Obama's most shining achievements (aca, increased marriage equality, etc) when the message should be a unified front touting what we gave achieved under a brilliant, yet flawed democratic presidency. Hell, many democrats in these races seem to even be afraid to use the word "obstruction"when speaking of their "friends" on the other side of the aisle.
