I heard on CNN we lost Virginia [View all]

Then they said even the votes on the BBB won't save us. I am even more depressed. What will this mean is our country has already been lost. We need bigger hitters of Obama and Joe as well as Kamala to go back because if we lose this, we will lose Joe Manchin.This is why I think he will not give Joe a win. All the work we did to get the election win for us,I hate to see it be all for nothing. I am heart sick. It sounds like our side is losing every end. From the rising of the big lie shown in video,Republicans winning when they lost in reality,how people are disrespecting the subpoenas congress send out,the embolden of white supremacy and now it looking like the Justice is not arresting these Jan6 folks, or keeping them in jail. It is like a hopeless death we are in. Biden poll numbers are bad. We can't trust the military will not take Trump side when he steals the next election. Nothing is done on the voting rights bill.I feel the whole drama with Gov Cuomo is a hit job because he is a big threat to the right. Seems the Democrats eats their own with all this back and fourth of trying to hold itself together, and noone can be on the same page.


Seems we are loosing steam.I am sorry to be so bleak, but I feel we have already lost our democracy. My question is this? If the Republicans were in the majority;what do you think they will do different. My opinion is they would have already come together and got rid of the filibuster and all cabinets would have been filled. I have another question about John King,who is a independent. Does his vote count with the Dems, or the Republicans? I am lost on that because if he is not counted with the Republican party, then where is his votes. Sorry to be downer, but this day as all days are as depressing as when Trump was in office. Which reminds me on one more thing. Why can't we use people like Kurt something and Steve S who are now Dems to work the computers online to spread the word that we have to win Virginia, because we will not get another election when they take over. The next election will not be a fair one, but given the Trump, who will never leave office and we will be stuck with them and that includes the whole family and we will be like Russia and Japan and all the authoritarian nations.We are on in trouble and I do not see what our side is doing. We need some out spoken people like they have. It looks like their lies will win and we will be left wondering what happened.Sad day for me.
