16. At the risk of being removed I'll say I do not understand why the DNC and all the rest

of our Glorious Party are seemingly sitting on their hands instead of fighting back. I'm not stating something to slander or slag anyone. What I have not seen or heard is meaningful challenges and questions asked. I heard Chuck Schumer claim he'd fight that bill and then I heard he or they folded. That's not nearly good enough to protect us. It certainly won't work in the new year to do the same regarding cabinet appointments. We need them to fight for every inch of ground and stand up for us or there will not be anything left to stand for.

This administration is not going to be government in action for those who voted for it, along with the rest of our citizens, but rather the rape of the land, the bill of rights and the public at large to sate the gross appetites of the Koch Brothers, Putin and others like them, and to permanently convert the Republic into a Dominionist Theocracy with Ghettos, debtor's prisons, and probably cemeteries for those who do not conform.

This is a serious question. Whatever the reasoning they may have either collectively or separately for their actions I am simply amazed at how many elected Democrats are busy excusing, explaining and sharing out blame over what happened instead of being outraged that it did, and actually fighting to protect our votes in this election and any future elections, if any.
