50. Not "an" election. Many elections. And why is that, exactly?

from Will Bunch:

"It turns out that Trump’s instincts in 2017 {I'm fucked.} were very, very good. Mueller’s work should mark the beginning of the end of his presidency. Yet that denouement probably won’t happen before the 2020 election — not with politically calculating cowards running both parties in Congress."

Comment from DailyKos: "Any attempt to calculate the next action in terms of tabulating electoral votes isn’t just a losing strategy, it’s a weakness that Trump will exploit, and laugh about, in 2020."

Acting like doormats, looking forward and not back, and above all, concentrating on a single election (ousting tRump) is an excellent way of insuring all the crap continues.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
