I keep hearing people say that Dems need to do whatever they can.....

to beat Trump! Which I agree with, but there are some say we need to cheat the same as Trump. That to me is demeaning the very core of being a Democrat! We are the honest side and just need every voter to vote!

Republicans can. We don't have the power. It's not just the state governments, the Justice Department, the Senate, the Supreme Court...it's all of those think-tanks, and corporations. The media, the Churches. It's always that way though, isn't it? There are more of us, than there are of them, but they have some heavy artillery, and we have pea-shooters.

democrats must stick together and not tear each other apart for the 2020 election. United we win, divided we lose.

what can happen when a strong asshole in power works to destabilize and undermine a nation, and solicits so many ignorant followers by using Hitler tactics. I think the US will survive, but I am stunned by the "new" republican breed, especially in the senate that don't give a F as long as they stay in power and have money ... reelected ... and gutless.

If I were running, I'd have commercials running hourly reminding people of his corruption, his lies, his wanting to take away their healthcare and how he touts this before every election and hasn't accomplished a fricken thing, I'd tell everyone, while they're sweating!!, of the climate change denying and the damage they've done to the environment ! Also, that Two-Scoops can stop taking credit for Obama's economy and how hes ruining it with his "stupid". I would do video montage commercials, every hour and a new one every week, like the one Morning Joe did of him this morning, which was brilliant (sorry, dont know how to post links on a cell), but the video link was in a thread here this morning. Show a stark reminder of everything that dumbass has done.
