People are complicated. What she's doing here is admirable. I was against her during the election, but my opinion of her has just gone way up. She clearly cares about our democracy and the integrity of our elections.

of Putin is a friend of America. I had no idea what a raging hypocrite she was until I did some research after the election.

Who should be or shouldn't be an enemy.

I'd start with the House of Saud at the top of an enemies list and work my way down ranked by human rights violators.

I will add that I'm tired of DU deciding who should or should not be an enemy.

Right with you there starting with the House of Saud.

That I am wrong. Flashbacks from Gore and Kerry have made me hesitant to believe anything will be different this time.

Bush v. Gore it was Florida
Bush v. Kerry hit was Ohio

This time around they got greedy. They needed to flip more states to win.

rest. I know it might seem unusual, but it shouldnt. lets hope we all & esp our leadership rediscover the lost art of coalition buildling - we're gonna need it - to work with each other and with disaffected R's and decent conservatives (yes they do exist) who are themselves disgusted with the entire trump spectacle.

initially because of the costs and she didn't have the funds.

I'm not a fan, but glad she is doing this.
