MSNBC have something to say, if only Democrats with power would listen to them. Look at the Congress with so-called moderate Dems. What good are they other than waste seats and time when we need it? Trusting and negotiating with the "thoughts and prayers" bunch is a waste of brain cells and of time. Since we follow the rules that they break, they will always win. We, Democrats, need a new and better plan NOW, and it may be our last chance, because the house is already on fire.
