One Year

That’s how long we have. We have one year to get our shit together, get past the butt hurt feelings and take back the country from these treasonous fucks.

We’ve had a year to lick our wounds and yell about how Hillary stole the primary and how Bernie was an opportunist independent trying to use the Democratic Party for his own agenda.

It’s over. We lost. Trump was installed by a perfect storm of infighting constituents across the aisle and Russian influence.

It’s time to stop, take a breath, and focus.

Or we can continue and just let them literally destroy the country.

What would you rather do?

Have the rules changed? At one point an op couldn't be started without ten posts first.

I am glad he is leaving the country (I need a rest from 24/7 crazy) but I was wondering it the timing was planned by his staff to avoid election day hostility across the country. Since it is the day he lost the popular vote he probably is glad to be out of here so he won't have to face additional criticism.

they are afraid of losing their cushy jobs and 300.00 haircuts and people kissing their asses while they collect millions from corporations.

and the corporations are afraid of losing market share due to poisoning the people and killing the planet.

Is it time to say "enough"?

When do we go to the capitol?

All of the crap coming out from the Hill and Politico, along with all the misinfo and attack ads from the Kochs, the Mercers, and the RGA are intended to damper enthusiasm for voting and depress liberal turnout.

It is time to GOTV.
