Realistically, what do the Dems in office do if we lose the midterms

[BigmanPigman]

in the House and/or the Senate? And what do we do if we lose? What are the next steps? What options are available for us to gain some control over our lives and the situation we find ourselves IN? Who will lead us through the time between the midterms and 2020? Who is our strongest fighter? Do we just sit and wait for Mueller? I need to know these answers.

1. I hate to say it

But if we don't take back the house, we need to take a look at leadership. I'm not saying they must be replaced but we need to have a conversation at the very least.

We should be taking the house, no question.

The Senate map is looking really hard, but we will see.

10. No, if we didn't take the house we need experienced leadership...and it would be the voters who let

the country down...not Nancy. Just stop.

13. Success starts at the top

Leadership sets the tone and message.

[Demsrule86]

14. Success is a result of party loyalty and voting Democratic always...if we don't take the House, the

voters are responsible just as message voters were responsible in 2000, and 2016.

2. If you and I and everyone we know votes, we won't have to fathom this.

Let's wait until November 7th before addressing such a scenario. It should be moot.

3. First, we try again in 2020

New leaders will emerge. We can only hope they are strong enough.

It helps to look at history, not as a done deal, but from the perspective of the time. When Rosa Parks refused to move her seat on the bus, she did not know how it would end up. In 1955, she did not know if she'd end up dead or uf the movement she started would succeed. That takes real bravery. Her heart must have been pounding but she stood firm.

It wasn't easy. But they did it. If they could do it, so can we. But first, we must live with not knowing. We must not fear the unknown.

4. 2020, in the end its always about the next election

and and local and state elections that come up before then.

5. What if George Bush hadn't been appointed President by the SC? We just keep on keepin on.

We elected Obama because people got out and voted. Voting should NOT be an option. We're in this together.

6. Why the hell are you asking this question today?

I'm actually disgusted by this question two weeks before the election.

7. What do we do?

.




What is it with this type of fatalism?

Seriously, as a pilot I was taught to fly a damaged plane all the way down to the ground, because no matter how hopeless a situation appears, there is always hope because weird shit happens without explanation, and giving up means certain death.

We're going to do what the Japanese did to Russian Navy, at the Battle of Tsushima. . .

Send their entire fucking fleet down to the bottom of the Sea of Japan.

Trump's Putin ships will come at us and while we start to cross the T, take some flack, only to deliver massive casualties as we cross the T and hit them with all main battle guns.

8. Not now please. No Debbie Downer stuff. Get out and vote.

[Demsrule86]

9. If we lose...there is little we can do.

But I don't think we will.

[beachbum bob]

11. Losing is not an option with House..

[Garrett78]

12. Raise bloody hell over voter suppression, gerrymandering and election fraud.

We should be doing that anyway.

I really don't want to contemplate not taking the House. That's the stuff of nightmares.

[Joe941]

15. I think we win the house but not the senate...

But what does that really do? Still seems like it's not enough. I guess it's a start.

[BigmanPigman]

16. Maybe if we get enough committees started

on conducting real investigations and interviewing people the public will realize what a criminal organization there is in this admin and Oval Office and really start to turn against him. Nunez and other GOP bastards won't be able to cover up the truth that the Dems on the committees have been sitting on. I just hope this can be speedy since every minute he is in office, more and more Americans are in danger of being harmed by his policies and his sadistic and cruel words.
