Two biggest factions in this country:

1). I don't care.
2). I love the tea party.

I'm not sure where you go from here but we're not in a pretty place.

No point in crying over spilled milk. The time for pointing fingers and throwing blame around is over. Time to get engaged and be ready for the fights to come.

We can say/think liberals are the majority all we want but apparently the populace doesn't agree.

But I wasn't surprised at all. Maybe it was the reports I was hearing on voter suppression and dark money...along with just not hearing anything effectively countering the GOP narrative from most Democrats.

The country's in a funk and the Democratic brand is meaningless except as the lesser of two evils. There's no Progressive w/out progress. Politicians are too scared to actually take a stand, both on the left and right.
