In reply to the discussion: Please stop calling Dems "weak" because we don't have many options for stopping Supreme Court nomine [View all]Demsrule86
(68,576 posts)conservative justices, United and an economic debacle shoved down our throats by Bush...and why because the left left green slimes and the Democrats they convinced didn't vote for the Democratic nominee...this time it was worse...those whining are the same folks I saw whining about emails during the general and how our candidate was a 'war hawk'. We lost six years of possible progressive laws and a justice because of those who sent Obama a 'message' in 10 and 14, and now those same folks call Democrats weak... No you have to vote Democratic always if you want a shot at passing legislation. We have such a pure platform. I like it. Many fought so hard for it...why it was divisive even...but it is also irrelevant because we lost. Winning is not everything, it is the only thing.
We need to take back the House or this country will be unrecognizable when and if Trump leaves office. We can't advance legislation, but we can stop Trump shit. Instead of wasting money on primarying Democrats, let's go all out on retaking the Senate, we can stop judges then. It is the only way to stop Trump's judges and if we make an all out attempt now to block Trump's pick which would include forcing conservadems to vote for this. We will still fail in my opinion. More importantly, we could lose more Senators and not retake the house in 18. You have to think about the midterms.
