    Yeah, problem is it’s still 16 months until Election Day, and 18 until the next Congress is seated. That’s a lot of time for this current government to continue to do harm. I really wish we had recall elections at the national level.

    I find it astounding that Americans STILL think there’s democracy in America.

    It’s gone and it’s not coming back for a long, long time.

        Defeatism was beaten into us by defeat after defeat after blatantly undemocratic defeat.

        And it’s just electoral defeatism. You can’t beat the master at his own game because he’s the one that makes the rules.

        Try a little revolutionary optimism instead.
