Don’t hide. Trust me, I’ve had the same response. My single comfort comes from knowing that liberals have the numbers, more buying power (as a consumer group) and better access to factual information. That makes for a lot of voting with one’s feet. We can pay attention, boycott, influence and be a pain in the ass as…

I don’t think it is about the craziness of the ideas the left needs to adopt. If we are to take a lesson from the Tea Party is that the left needs to be willing to play the same kind of game. We don’t need extreme views, we need to be unreasonable. We need to utilize the same obstructionist tactics employed by…

Soonoon as he finds the right contractor to line his pockets on the build, he’ll be all about this wall again.

And who is soon going to have control of the Supreme Court?

I’m sure this won’t be a really popular opinion around here... but this is the kind of seat that Dems need to win to turn back the House of Reps (yes, it’s a Senate seat... but the type of race is important, not the seat).

This is an awful mentality and frankly that shit is why we lose elections.

At a rally on Friday, Trump noted that “If he doesn’t win, I have myself a problem in Washington. It’s close.” He later added, “If John’s not there, maybe we can’t build the wall.”

It’s also the same Louisiana that can’t make a budget no matter who is in charge. It relies to heavily on oil and gas. Then a ton of the budget is locked in thanks to voters passing amendments over the years, that dictate where monies go. So while I blame Republicans, I also blame most the citizens.

Step 1: Get elected based on hate and false economic data

You don’t need to control the message when you’ve primed your army of Uruk-Hai to ignore the messenger.

Bullshit. Devote their resources to what? This was literally the only election occurring in the country.

Wait, is this the same Louisiana that almost shut down its public university system this year because Republicans had run the state economy into a ditch?

By then they’ll have moved onto some other thing they’re enraged about, and will just shrug their shoulders about whatever they were screaming at the top of their lungs about in 2016. Let’s not forget that the same people who were burning Dixie Chicks albums and covering their houses and SUVs in yellow ribbons in 2003…

Where the hell was the Democratic Party on this one? They sent no money, no volunteers, no endorsements. They gave up on the last chance to set up a roadblock for Trump.

You might not let them forget it. Most of us here won’t let them forget it. But their base won’t care in the slightest. All they have to do is say “Obama” and the rage towards Democrats will be out again in full force. Never mind that their policies will directly be horrible for their supporters. Facts simply…

It’s easy.

Louisiana is yet another red welfare state that gets much more back from the federal government than it pays in taxes (unlike most blue states), but hates big government. It’s just typical, hypocritical GOP bullshit.

I give up. This country does not want to progress at all.

So how are the Republicans going to continue to blame Democrats for everything wrong in this country when they repeal Social Security, Medicare and the Affordable Care Act? When their tax cuts drive us into a Recession (or Depression)? Terrifyingly they have the keys to the Federal government and the inevitable crash…

I trust no election when a republican wins. Not after knowing how vast and damaging voter suppression is.
