this is the only way we will win, get rid of Electoral College and have a standardized way of voting instead of machines robbing votes , and have the day off to do it, and have competent people working at the polls, and get the trolls out of cyber space and no voter suppression/gerrymandering.

Now I hope we can see the last of folks attacking the Dems. I see them speaking out on MSNBC all the time. When the repubs control it all, attacking the Dems makes no sense to me.

the Democratic Party, their members and allies have become the dedicated defenders of The United States of America.

Stand proud! The ground has shifted in our direction.

And this is what we run on.

They refuse to lift a finger to protect and defend America from a clear and present danger. Shameful beyond all words.

There you have it. Will you vote for a Russian, I mean Republican, ever again at any level of government?

Is this by chance also on YouTube?

While my hatred of repugs has grown to almost total disgust, I find that my love for the party of the people DEMOCRATS is almost total.

And I concur with the comment about establishment Democrats. Fringes work against us: we need to UNIFY NOW!!!

if Hillary won the EC, and even though there was nothing there to act up about. They'd just be railing about voter fraud, instead of election fraud. Slowly but surely the Dems are catching up to their base.

Every Democrat running in November should make this their ad. There was only one Rethug (that we could see) who finally stood at the end, and he probably did it so he could show himself standing. The rest were glued to their chairs. And they should put a split screen with those sycophants standing to cheer "Dear Leader", but sitting and voting against the security of our elections.
