So even a 100% democrats would be a better mix than a democrat/republican mix in the current political polarized reality. Bottom line: Vote! Vote Democrat! Pass on the message! And grow better candidates if you don’t like the one you have, but still vote for the democrats!
is if we have an absolute majority everywhere (including state level) The point is not to grab all powers for long time, but to create the conditions for a better set of candidates. Note that the democrats are extremely varied and don’t just vote party line. \
Don’t skip votes: all votes matter, even in a blue state… so we can show how many people are behind the elected officials. The only way we can have a shot at changing the election process (removing elector vote, using ranked vote,…) \
Which again means we need to keep the houses democrat when it matters, which is pretty much all the time. So: vote democrat before all; if you don’t like your democrat candidate, still vote for them, then work to grow them to be better or grow a New Democrat candidate for the next election. \
but how stupid it is to say “we elect Obama because we like him, but we do not give him the houses because we don’t like all the democrats? Do the “no kings” folks understand that the president needs the houses to govern? They also need scotus to be a more balanced group that is more apolitical\

If we are not consistently involved and helping, the second jobs takes over the first totally, as more money is needed to campaign, opening the door to “political consultants” and lobbyists with their own agenda… We should for sure not worship, or trust blindly…
The issue is: they have to do 2 jobs: the one they are paid for and the one to keep the job… and doing the latter takes time away from the first, and forces everyone into pure political games focusing on the wrong issues to please some “must have folks” and not offend that other group… \

Mais c’est le seul choix viable pour le pays à ce moment. Il faut rejeter l’attrait des politiques du « moi, maintenant », et constamment pousser pour les meilleures solutions pour tous et sur le long terme, exprimer nos demandes, et aider les meilleurs candidats.
Je ne sais pas si les parties courant son capable du changement qui est nécessaire… mais comme aux US, il faut voter pour le groupe qui est le plus proche des valeurs françaises: liberté, égalité, fraternité. Aujourd’hui, le seul choix est le LFP… et voter contre le RN. Ce n’est pas satisfaisant \
Nous devons prendre les meilleures propositions de tous les parties, filtré à travers la compassion, l’exigence et les valeurs françaises. Nous devons ignorer les extrémistes de tous bords, et rebâtir notre économie en gardant à l’esprit la réalité de nos concitoyens. \

Why local police do not arrest the ice thugs? If they do not show identification and their face, and proper parperwork, they should be charged with abduction and disorderly conduct in public places.
Federal taxes and minimum wage and poverty level should be revised based on real cost of leaving: the current discrepancies in the different part of the country are huge, and current federal number do not represent any reality.
We will also need to finally clean the tax code to simplify it… it should be some simple that anybody can fill their tax without need for help, so that tax fraud are not just mere mistakes because of how stupidly complex it is to get everything right. \
We basically have to make sure we relearn to take care of each other. And we have to find the right way to communicate, and communicate a lot to all the people. We should also join the ICC to make it clear that state criminal are not welcome here. \

Prayers (and god) work so well, you can get shot while you pray whether you are a kid or an adult… all while a blasphemous pedophile plays golf. If that is not a proof of the power of lies… I mean: prayers… I don’t know what is.
What we cannot do is: not vote for the “least worst candidate” when we have no other viable choice. We need to be highly strategic, and not let the GOP divide us. And we need to remind whoever we elect that they owe us, the people. #resist #voteDemocrat
Massive blue wave in both chambers + presidency, all including more progressive, before we have a chance of anything changing… We need to really mobilize and grow new candidates and do the work to lobby the existing candidates to represent the will of the people. \

They will argue that you cannot lose what you never had…
Finally someone saying out loud what we are all saying (at least the 60% who do not think the orange turd is god). And it happens to be a priest saying it. We need more folks to repeat it.
38% base support (+2 for the orange turd) is an insanely high number… What have we become? Democrats need to do a deep introspection about what they have done wrong consistently for decades… and the solution is not to lower our standards, but to fix our blindsides and weaknesses. #resist
Well… then you reach some level and the bell curb bring it all back: the ultra rich commit a ton of crime, as many as they can get away with… just different, larger in scale and not as obvious in effect to any one individual… but still crimes.

Just do it… don’t even think twice about it. Don’t know when the deadline is, but make sure it is not too Late by the time you decide.
It is not… it is just that they never said who was at the bottom collecting all the $ spent by people who are both the workforce and the biggest engine for the economy: the working poor all the way to the so called “middle class”: the billionaires are the one collecting the trickles…
I would not go as far: voting is a right. But people who participate actively in this destruction of the US definitely should. Not because they are mere political opponents, but because they action are traitorous, attacking American people and interests.
We will not gain any of the other base: so we have to make sure our base vote, and vote democrat. Otherwise we are playing into the GOP hands. #resist #voteDemocrat
If we can be smart enough to be the Fox of this story: by all means… but the past tells me Dems would self destruct before they put a proper strategy together… I think the only way out is for all dems to fight and make sure to take into account their own base when they communicate. \

Sure… But if we continue to behave the way we have, being absolutist on every topic that matters to us while forgetting what matters for too many people, we will lose again. We do not have to lover our moral values, but we don’t have to campaign about it is detail. Unfortunately that tend to \

Remember that the issue in the US is the forced middle man in the system: the PBM are the one inflating the costs of health care in the US. They add no value, only cost and status quo.
It is so much easier to blame and attack the helpless… and is really the only way they can feel superior, at least for a while… Will they ever realize they are just pions in the oligarchs games? I have little hope really. #resist
Add that to the white generational immigrants insecurity when they see brown and black work harder than they do, and the only that remains is bigotry and jeremiad instead of a fight to ask for better education and support for all from their governments. \

Pedophiles help pedophiles… who is surprised? Where are the pizzagate folks when the real thing actually happens?

When progressive are ahead, we need to help them. We need to be agile and smart… enough with the bad candidates of the past (looking at you Cuomo) enough with the “strongly worded opposition”… enough of putting our values on the back burner to attract the right when we lose the left. \
The internal fights have to stop. We need to focus all the energy on winning big. We need outreach efforts to start a discussion with those single issue voters. We need to work with them. We need to court people on both sides, but we really should start with our side. \
And there are still people saying “I am and will always be a single issue voter” and “I will never vote for someone who said anything against that issue”… These are really crazy times… and democrats are in no way out of the woods: we need to find a way to communicate with our side. \

They are simply not the same. How can you justify saying “if someone barely says something against me, I prefer everyone to suffer the worst consequences”?
You are simply missing the point and selfish. One candidate does destroy the life of millions, and promote hate of anything he does not understand… the other side may try to attract people who are misguided so that there is a possibility of discussion, but will not act against any group… \
So you will allow a much worst transphobe group of people to win because someone said one thing you don’t like? That why the country is in the current state.
They should not have an issue denouncing slavery then and asking for reparations from those “2%”… BTW: How do they explain going to war to allow 2% of white to enslave practically all the black folks in their states? Or how 2% folks enforce segregation?

What they are trying to do. Is there a better way to get the other side to listen a little to what we have to say and hopefully make better choices next time? I think it is hard to tell, and we have to try everything. We cannot be absolutists constantly: this is how we lose… \
If we want things to improve long term, we somehow need to create a climate that is not antagonizing the people we want to reach, all while not abandoning our morale values. It is a hard balance for politicians that are in the public eye. I don’t agree with what was said by some… but I understand \
