I don;t know the full answer but I wish our great candidates, and the ARE great, would stat focusing on WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING and not so much on who has the better health care plan or whatever...

They think I'm nuts. Been saying that for a year and a half. There really isn't! Imo, If he is in power then that is.

I guess my comment was born out of frustration that many Dems in office are just planning on getting rid of him via the election. Yeah, that’s important, but what if he’s rigging the election?

but I still don't see the point of the discussion. If Trump manages to win 2020 (you can use the word "steal" if it makes you feel better) -- then I guess we didn't do our job. End of story. But elections are still how the game is played. (IMO)

Saw these same kinds of posts in 17 about 18. Well, there was an election and we won. Why?

Because we did not make the election just about trumps derangement.

Instead we focused on things the average voter care about. Healthcare taking the lead role. Throw in the failed tax cut, decreasing middle class and other things and we win.

Things like Pelosi’s drug price proposal out today.

We have to remember that the average voter, or even the average Democratic voter is not like we on DU. They are just living their lives and are not following politics play by play.

We run on true Democratic values spiced with the trump shit and we will win.

Past behavior predicts future behavior.

We can no longer be conflict-avoidant. In light of today's developments, impeachment needs to begin immediately.

pResident break the law with impunity and no repercussions is very frightening to me. I have never witnessed such contempt for the rule of law.

When"45 said he could shoot someone in the middle of my and not get in trouble he knew something. What did he know? One thing he knew that the speaker of the house would not do anything about it.

What does that say about it country now? We are more like Russia than the US

He could murder someone and they wouldn't do anything.

That's the big issue here.
