(31,261 posts)Some of the very same people that will be protesting chose to not vote, vote for Stein or write in "Bernie". Until people realize that shit like that has consequences, we will be relegated to meaningless storming of a fortified fort. Republicans are already making plans to bring law enforcement down on the protesters, or simply ignore them because republicans hold power now. I don't waste time with protests, strategic voting on every election is what matters and is what brings about change, republican voters understand that, our side is still trying to figure it out, with predictable consequences.

(9,426 posts)watching how the gop manipulates the voting places, gerrymanders districts and "loses" votes. All their dirty tricks are pretty much well known, yet they still get way with them. They now have a fake president who is not too bright just as they like 'em. Pretty soon they will have the Not-So-Supreme Court in their pockets, putting a lying ranting drunk into a lifetime position.,

You need to be careful writing ANYTHING that can be interpreted as re-fighting the 2016 Democratic primary because such comments are a violation of the DU rules. I know -- the last time I even used the name "Bernie Sanders" in a post, I received a warning that I should not be fighting the 2016 primary all over again.
Apparently the DU moderators do not understand that Bernie is out there, ready to do it again . . . he's already forming exploratory committees and building on the support he had in 2016. He's out to wreck us again. But, the DU moderators don't want to hear that; they seem to think any mention of his name is an attempt to re-litigate the 2016 primary.
So -- do not mention Bernie is any future posts or comments -- not permitted.

(31,261 posts)They were the only two people that could become US President. Some people ignored that reality and here we are.

(31,261 posts)We hoped for a legitimate FBI investigation eventhough all of us knew that Trump would never let that happen. We hoped for humanity from Susan Collins and Jeff Flake and that Joe Manchin would vote no, we got none of that. I think that the level of frustration from everyone is high right now.

(9,426 posts)Collins voting for Kavenaugh? EVERY single time she sides with the gop. No spine, a jellyfish who comes in handy for the gop when they need to pretend that women matter. Useful Suzie to the rescue. Then she makes a big speech, gets TV time and screws us over once again. Her whiny voice is irritating, especially when she is not saying anything meaningful. Same old BS. I think she makes these false gestures just to get on TV, pretend she really is representing her constituents, when she is not.

(6,230 posts)Counting on folks who have never supported us, just leads to frustration. Get the Dems electoral wins. That is the only way to move our country leftward. We have a two party system. Pick one. Vote Democratic Nov 6th!

(24,709 posts)assholes senators everyday going forward, while they and you go to work, when they and you go to get in car to go to work, to fuck people over again, when they and you get off work, after they and you continue to fuck people over, while they and you go out to eat, thinking that the wait staff don't deserve a living wage or heath care or education or never even thinking that they may be a victim of sexual assault, even while they and you are sleeping.
They and you and your boss the chief sexual predator think it will die down..................never, they and you remind us of assholes that were on the other side of door standing in line to wait there turn to hurt the victim on the other side having no conscience just waiting for there turn and the victims of this sexual predator, and the Victims Dr. Ford, Ramirez and Swetnick had corroborating witnesses to your demeanor where never called to testify, that you are unfit to be a judge.
While Kavanaugh or anyone else that was on the other side in that room attacking the woman and doing nothing or were willing participates in the "gang rape", because they knew and they support a serial abusing lying pr**k, that will enable the sham to continue .....................................
IMPEACH...............................
