Democrats do not hold the life preserver for this country.

It is solely in the hands of the Republican Party.

Donald Trump is only the vessel for their corruption and treasonous behaviors.

Our country cannot make it three more years under this corrupt and criminal regime.

Democrats have no legislative power to speak of. All the power is in the hands of people like MAGA Mike Johnson and John Thune. They are spineless. Republicans are yellow-bellied cowards. They are spineless. They are traitors.

If the Republicans do not care about our future or where we are headed, there is not a whole lot that Democrats can do;

We like to think differently but I fear the people are in for a rude awakening.

are now ruining our lives.
Being RELENTLESS even against impossible odds seems to pay off. It keeps things in the public eye and folks remember at voting time what you stand for.
But generally the opposition is considered "stupid" here, and we are intellectually superior.
How's that working out?
I think some Democrat needs to stand up every day and propose legislation and go on TV and talk about it.
RELENTLESSLY.

And I'm not flaming Dems here, just encouraging them to FIGHT no matter what the odds. Shoulder shrugging just isn't going to make it.

I am a lifelong Democrat, radicalized by Chicago 1968, and have been fighting ever since.
