14. I am not happy with Schumer and the others...including Fetterman

But, I would walk across broken glass to vote for them in the General...it is them or more Republicans. I don't think our Republic can survive if we don't take back the House at least at the midterm and maybe maybe we get the Senate. This is the most dangerous regime in our history. It is sort of like the 90's only much worse when everything had gone ultra-right for 12 years. Clinton ran as a centrist and stopped Bush I. It would have been 16 years of the GOP holding the presidency if Bush had won.

We won't last long a a country if we don't stop Trump and his merry band of Fascist scum....so I will vote for any any Democrat in the General=it is our only play I do hope we can primary some of the traitorous Democrats who voted with the GOP and helped pass the continuing resolution. But the bottom line is we have to stop the bleeding by electing as many Democrat as we can in the General. We can do nothing if we remain in the minority. Dividing the Party will only help Republicans. And a new party takes years to launch...we don't have years.
