Well the Republicans run..........everything right now. House, Senate, Presidency, and Supreme Court.

I agree the Dems need a clear strategy and message before the mid-terms, but there really isn't a ton they actually can do right now. I'm curious, what would you like them to do right now to stop what is happening? If every branch of government and SC are compromised, what is your realistic solution to the house on fire that is the U.S. today?

Yup. The only thing the Dems can do right now is prepare for the mid-terms and hope that it's at least fair election.

It'll be the freest and fairest election ever. Now that Maduro is in custody, they can finally get the details about how Venezuela helped steal the 2020 election from Trump to make sure it doesn't happen again.

On the bold, how about not foolishly give up the little bit of power they did actually hold in certain cases? The moment Republican voters were stuck without pay and started questioning their vote and the government during the shutdown, Democrats blinked for no reason and gave in to all Republican demands. And they are already promising to not shutdown next time.

Why Democrats Aren’t Threatening Another Shutdown This Time
Centrists worry they could hurt voters they are trying to help
Why is there belief mid-terms are sure to happen or they will be fair if they do? Trump has already threatened to cancel them in his patented double speak to test the waters.

Also, apparently it was actually worse than the video I linked and there was singing, oh fricking hell there was singing. What the hell. I mean there is a reason they lost everything and they are doing everything to keep it that way. What the hell was that?

You didn't answer the question. You're slamming the Dems but are not giving solutions.

Right now. Right now what would you do if you were the Dems to stop what is happening?

We all agree America is a complete disaster that will get worse daily, what would you do?

Same thing a hockey team does when you get the crap kicked out of you endlessly, can the coach, can the GM, rebuild

It is the same 80 year *uck wits that lost them the state houses, the House senate and the Presidency, to be honest the Dems and their utter commitment to doing nothing at all different for 60 odd years that has led to this, they did nothing after Nixon took the south from them, Reagan was the writing on the wall, Palin and the tea party the 5 alarm fire, they still did nothing, as a party the Dem's are utterly incompetent at every level, at state level they have always been corrupt, so are the GOP but the GOP aren't running on being the 'good party', at the house level they just dont care about half the country

There is no way the Dems are winning mid terms. They will either be cancelled or rigged. The orange goblin King knows he would be impeached and removed from office. It isn't happening.

On paper the Dems win the House but even if they grabbed the senate it would be by paper thin margins and they’d never have the 2/3rds required for removal.

The US have captured the oil tanker that Russia has claimed ownership of and had told the US to back off. Here we go....

Correct.

There is the Dotard party. And the feckless geriatric corporate shill party.

Those are your choices.

AMERICA!

Russia and the US fighting might be just the distraction we need so that we can finally grab Point Roberts for a new oil export terminal.

Well let’s seize the port that’s sending all the oil tankers through our tanker ban area.

That way the climate will be saved. Fact?
