16. Where the hell did the GOP get the idea they could get away with all this shit?

Oh, from an opposition party that never opposed anything. We didn't challenge election 2000 or the Ohio results of 2004. We looked forward on a president who took the country to war based on lies. We quietly watched as state legislatures turned red & gerrymandered us out of the House for a decade. We didn't utter a peep about a stolen SCOTUS nom, and if the dems ever have any influence again, which is doubtful, they will play nice, again, in the name of healing the country. They don't know how to fight, or they don't want to. Same result, either way.

The Koch's will pour a mountain of cash into the upcoming MN races. Nice work dems! We're in a fight for our country & you kicked one of our best bulldogs to the curb. What will they do if there are new anonymous reports about other dems from red states where the GOP governor gets to select the replacement? Would the GOP be so brazen as to do that? Why the hell not? Who the fuck has stopped them for 35 years?

I'm 60 years old and very angry with the party. They'll get my vote, yeah even Gillibrand, if she's the nom, but no more money, no more GOTV. We are on a very dark path & we need a party that will fight a foe that has thrown the rule book in the trash. Get in the ring & learn to fight!

I read this on FB a few weeks ago: If you've ever wondered what you would have done in 1930s Germany, you're doing it, now.
