I'd doubt they were intending some kind of low-level jab and it just looked good as some of the others are also shielding their eyes from the glare of the window glass.

Democrats have a bad habit of getting really excited about presidential races and ignoring other races. They are known to not vote in off year elections and in the process, we have often lost control of governorships, state legislatures, the senate, and the house. We need more than a Democratic president to bring about the change we want.

As with so many things in life, we need to make voting a habit, even when it seems boring. We can't always "fall in love" with our candidates and not every bright star is headed to the White House.

a lot of states. Michigan, Wisconsin, and Maine come to mind. Once you let republicans take hold, it is harder than hell to get rid of them. They change laws and elections to make it harder for Democrats to win. We should treat even the most minor local race as important as the presidential one.

We have great candidates and our message resonates with people. We just need to keep focused and not devolve into petty infighting. Also arm ourselves with troll deflecting armor. I saw too many good people buy into some Russian and right-wing crap in 2016. It torn our party apart.

Now if we could master messaging. We have a good message, but often don't get it out there effectively.

And the Trumpster's shifty side glance.

Like the fact they included Stacy Abrams, a force to be reckoned with sooner rather than later.

Yes, knock, knock. We're coming for you, an army of Democrats to expel the Squatter-in-Chief.

If she were running I wouldn’t be undecided anymore. She has what all the others do PLUS (to me) she is a woman of color and as Presidential as they come.

I want proof that Obama is not a one off exception. It’s time for a woman too. All those walls and glass ceilings need to be busted out of existence forevermore! I want to live to see it happen.

in the Senate we accomplished the House next cleaning out should be the Senate. And McConnell he doesn't have our interests at heart.

Just think tRump didn't do one good thing for us, government shutdown, the tax cuts for the wealthy only, nothing on the gun issue or opioids, no climate change initiatives, stealing children from their mothers. I know we are aware of the horrible things he has done, but what about the general public, do they remember all these horrible issues.
