14. They lost the last election and have very little power to control much.

I have heard Democrats say what you want, so yes Democrats are fighting back... but honestly I am sick of the nitpicking concerning Democrats...no I am not necessarily saying this is what you are doing...but there is a mindset that no matter what Democrats do, some who are self identified progressives are never satisfied. I am please with the Democratic fight against the Republicans and think they are doing quite well...I intend to support Democrats now and forever. The 2016 election demonstrated the importance of supporting and voting for a candidate with the 'D' next to his name or face terrible consequences.
