Is that the solution?
I'm pretty much disgusted by all of this and don't feel welcome here anymore.
I support the Democratic Party.
I don't support dumping it.
The GOP wants to eliminate it.
I feel bad for anyone who cant see what's going on.
I work very hard with my local party.
We don't have time to bash Democrats in DC.
Maybe if more people worked for their local Democratic parties and focused on electing Democrats locally and building the party up from the bottom, we wouldn't be in this mess. Instead, everyone is armchair quarterbacking the top of the party in DC.

OP
Totally agree. There's no "conversation" when it's hateful name-calling and mindless bashing.

We cannot continue to allow the gop to frame the arguments. They are no longer the party of freedom.

As you know, I agree - we need a paper ballot hand recount in certain states...

Ah, I see, anybody concerned about the state of our leadership are ratfuckers, how convenient.
