I have lived long enough and fought way too long to know that sadly, democrats are also bought and paid for. It's sad, really it is. But money buys their votes just like Republicans. It's a truly sad revelation to you and I'm sorry to be the bearer of this news.

The politics in this country is bought and paid for. Whether it be lobbyists, Russians, the Mercers or the Koch's...things have changed.

And unless the Dems get out and vote the politics and rich wealthy donors will run this country.

Republicans are horrid people, democrats do the same shenigans, but at least Democrats, for the most part, vote FOR the people and the good of the country.

Yes, I recommend your post. Highly!

Keep on trying, as I am. God bless you for pointing these Democrats out.
