Crap on the Dems? Who the hell are those folks? We have a two party system. That's how it works. We explained it over and over, but some folks still didn't get it and we have trump. Why are those negative folks allowed to post here? If you lean left, you support the Dems. Have a problem with the Dems? Go the the monthly meetings in your congressional district and work for the changes you want. Don't be naive and think third party will gain you anything. All it will gain is repub wins.
