There's depression here [View all]

We don't know why the Dems didn't come out to vote. They didn't even know about Citibank at the time of the election.

We're all disappointed in our elected officials. Low wages, lousy jobs, health care somewhat inadequate under Medicare, WAR that will never end, drones, black injustice, protests permitted but not effective, just tolerated, ebola, torture of prisoners, terrorism, ISIS, Cheney still loose, and I, I don't know about you, feel sort of lost.

We had such faith at the beginning. True, Obama had some great successes, but none helped the majority. Gay rights was good, as well as equal rights for women, proclaimed if not achieved, and costs of everything except gasoline has just about doubled - beef, bread, butter, etc., you name it.

We are getting our hopes set on Warren. She's not perfect....some have said that they are disappointed in her lack of sympathy for Palestinians or for a state for them. There are enough people who are for it, and it will come.

Sorry for complaining so much. But if not here, where?
