for your trouble, I think people can be excused for railing at the system. We've won the PV 6 of the last 7 times, in fact, more people (again) voted for Democratic candidates than Republicans, our positions on the issues consistently poll better than Republicans and all we get is the hope that Chuck Schumer will be able to keep his minority caucus in line.
How did we get here? Here's where I agree wholeheartedly with you: The mind-numbing failure of Democrats, from President Obama on down, to brand the Republicans for the soul-sucking, economy-killing, planet-destroying thugs that they are is killing us. From now on, no Democrat, and that starts with you, Barack Obama, once you no longer have the responsibility of the presidency pushing you in the direction of decorum, should be allowed to say, "Congress," when talking about what ails our politics and our country. It's "the Republicans." Stop overselling the average American's ability to "get it." If we keep saying when they go low, we go high, we might as well just get high because that will be our only consolation.
This should be easy, with a Republican in the WH, Republicans controlling the house and Senate, a Republican majority in the SC and Republican Governors heading 2/3 of the states. Shame these bastards! We've been taking it on the chin from these assholes since the 60s. They have branded us as unacceptable, anti-American freaks, and now we're looking at a 6X bankrupted failed casino owner, compulsive liar and thrice-married certified sexual predator as President who is already basically guaranteeing us (with full Republican support) that he will be the most corrupt occupant of the White House in history. They are asking us to go on the ideological warpath, begging us, in fact. Will we? It's pathetic that we even have to wonder.
