Why Are We Playing "Blame the Democrat" When Our Nation is Under Attack?

Dudes, no Democrat is to blame. Roger Stone is to blame!

Can we stop being lead around by our noses? Can we stop with the infighting? Can we put our energy together and sweep the Russian invaders out of Washington before they embezzle our Social Security and strip mine all our national parks?

Divide and Conquer is the tool of the oligarchy in a democracy. It is the only thing that enable the GOP to get the polls close enough that they can steal an election. If we all stick together, there is nothing we can not do.

Maybe to video tape it to your phone to get likes on Facebook.

Real world, what's that?

whenever Roger Stone perpetrates another act of ratfcking, what hope do we have that they'll "sweep the Russian invaders out of Washington"?

...what about Democrats who are not skeptical of crap from Stone or other dubious sources, and decide that "purity" is more important than "pragmatism" on this one occasion where there is clearly a ratfucking hit job in progress and may be revealed to be completely fraudulent... like, say, O'Keefe and Breitbart videos have been?

How many times do need to be suckered before we learn to stop misreading situations and misplaying our hand?

Franken gone, Conyers gone, yet Moore will win on Tuesday, there will be no ethnic investigation, and Blake Farenthold won't resign. CHUMPS!

infiltrated by Republicans. They've managed to infiltrate everywhere else -- why not the oppo party? They've had 30 years to do it.

...you fill in the blank.

We just witnessed a lynch mob turn on one of our own.

I am done with these so-called "friends".

Divide and conquer isn’t the only effective strategy.

round to their senses. If this continues then I'm not going to be very happy about that. You've got to do something pretty bad for me to not support you as a Democrat as the alternative is awful. So even though I may disagree with elected Dem's on various things I DON'T ABANDON them because of it. I have loyalty. It gets me upset to see so many folks just turn on a dime all I think of is yup no loyalty....no wonder the Republicans keep winning.
