2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI...Really...Don't...Know
The Republican field is horrific, to put it mildly.
I really don't know who best to support on the Democratic side to ensure that those monsters never take power.
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

Good advice, I suppose.
I'd rather hear who best to support, though.
This being the primary section and all.

Don't believe the crap about both parties being the same. Look at the pristine appointments of the Obama Administration and the seven years of honest government, compared to the scandal-a-week Bush one. Look at how, exactly as we predicted, when tax cuts for the rich expired unemployment eased, the price of gasoline dropped, inflation stabilized and the market recovered--in spite of continual Republican efforts to crash the economy.
The Democrats actively police themselves against infiltrating criminals; the Republican Party promotes the best criminals to high leadership. That's the difference, and the relative smooth sailing of the US today is the direct result of supporting the non-criminals.
Good, solid info. Much appreciated!

(10,857 posts)Don't get too bent out of shape by others who are less welcoming right now. This is the season for the bi-annual troll infiltration, where low-post-count newcomers attempt to stir up dissent and negatively influence the debate ahead of the elections.
Consider being extra respectful and willing to demonstrate the ability to learn--those are things trolls have trouble faking, while it is easy for those asking to be informed.
