Democrats WILL NOT Be Rewarded For Doing The Right Thing. They Will Be Labeled As Weak.

Based on what I see with Trump and Moore Democrats will not be rewarded for doing what is right the way things look. I really hope that I am wrong but i am not confident. My fear is that the GOP will use the bludgeon to stop Democrats from turning out.

The GOP is already showing that their base will turn out probably even for a proven murderers as long as IT IS NOT A COMMUNIST PRO TERRORIST PRO ILLEGAL ALIEN Democrat

We look weak. They protect their own. We don't have to be them. We can show we are principled democrats who believe in due process.

We don't have to eat our own.

This is much like the whole "War on Terror" bullshit. They won, you know. In the long term, bin Laden's attack changed America, and not for the better. All of the real significant damage done since 9/11 has been self-inflicted.

I mean sure most of those around us on the streets will be trump voters, still saying trump is wonderful

If we dont take back the government, we all perish, for real.

And it looks like this bill could pass which will kill aca and raise taxes on most of us. I hope not. Being “ better” is certainly not what matters at the moment.

First, if you are Muslim and living here, might wanna leave, Donnie WANTS his deplorables to KILL Muslims. You are NOT safe here as long as this FILTH is in charge.

Many other groups he wants gone, but he will start with them I suppose.

This is REAL

I can hardly believe a lot of people don’t see this. I will be going back to the Canada if this happens due to health issues. I don’t want to but it will be the only option if this goes down.

All of the Democrats will resign or retire. We will then have Moore as US Senator and Joe Barton will remain in Congress. Republicans will be 🤭 laughing 😂 😆 their heads off . It is not hard to label us as weak, we stay true to form.

Lyndon Johnson said we'd lose the south for a generation and still pushed for the Civil and Voting Rights Acts. You don't do the right thing because somebody gives you a cookie for it. You do it because it's the right thing.

In the long run, I would still rather be on the right side of these issues- and part of a party that is as well. Some things are more important than short-term political gain.
