(10,173 posts)because you have a problem with the OP asking democrats to understand that now is not the time to pile on Democratic politicians.
I repeat - this is not 2008. The parties are sharply divided more than they ever have been. There are few moderates, the center is falling apart. We have extremists in the WH, as awful as Bush was, his administration wasn't *this*awful.
And major decisions from the SCOTUS are affecting our politics today in ways they haven't before - decisions having to do with corporate personhood, and it will be worse now with Gorsuch and his originalism. Even if you believe that conservatism today is the same as conservatism under Bush ( and moderate anti Trumpers would vehemently disagree with you) there is a lot at stake right now given the individuals in the W.H.
I repeat, if your beef is with the Democrats STILL, given all that I've said, your priorities are misplaced or you have bought into the false argument that republicans and democrats are the same.
