Massive corruption in the executive cabinet and the Congress. Endless attacks on the Affordable Care Act. Gorsuch on the Supreme Court. A massive trickle down tax scheme giveaway to the rich and super rich that will result in an all out assault on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Net neutrality killed. A certifiable national embarrassment freak in the White House.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN DEMS DON'T VOTE, VOTE THIRD PARTY, AND THE PARTY RUNS A BAD ORGANIZATION AND BAD CAMPAIGNS WITHOUT A MESSAGE.
We had a good election day this year and many good special elections which is great. But we can't only be the anti-Trump party. We need to be the PRO-MIDDLE CLASS PARTY! We need an AMERICAN DREAM JOBS MESSAGE that will resonate with working and middle class people EVERYWHERE, not just in the cities and big suburbs.
We must fix OURSELVES first, ORGANIZE well, get out and VOTE, and WIN ELECTIONS! If we do the right things, 2018 will be a big year for us. But it is not a given. But we must DO THE RIGHT THINGS. And that means continue to the fix the party, run strong candidates, have a clear strong positive economic message, AND attack the living hell out of Trump and the FAILED Republicans.
BOTTOM LINE: ELECTIONS HAVE HUGE CONSEQUENCES. SO WIN MORE ELECTIONS!

Although the route GOPers are headed - rigging, stealing, cheating and following fake news (Murdock) and Koch's and many of the super rich orders, as well as Putin, even voting may be taken away for many Americans. It's ugly.
But alas, I feel that we will overcome this darkness.
