make sure every candidate agrees to support the eventual nominee AND MAKE DAMN SURE his/her supporters do as well.

We did not do well responding to Comey and lies, limiting the blood in our primaries, encouraging people to not take the ship down because they are mad their candidate didn't win, etc. There is no reason we can't counter that and anything new that comes along.

We won in special elections after 2016, we won in 2018, Obama won in 2008 and 2012. So, it's not like the world is fixed against us and we can't win. We vote, we win. It's really that simple.

By the election. In 2015 I told some friends he was going to be the next President.
There was opportunity but warning signs leading into the election were downplayed or ignored in favor of planning what to do after the sweeping win.

We should set up extra friendly outreach to British Columbia in case they build a wall.
Hope the west of the state is still Washington and the east can be Cascadia.

The world is not over. If Barr put out what he wanted of that report, a patriot is going to figure out how to leak it, once that happens a stench will envelop Trump and everyone around him. The next democratic President should have his or her Justice Department do a full investigation and jail people that comitted a crime, including Barr.

Hopefully the House democrats get Mueller under oath as fast as possible. I totally believe that Barr would lie under oath, but if Mueller wrote a damning report on Trump, he would have no sane reason too.

We once split the entire nation down the middle and spent several years murdering each other on the battlefield. We survived.

We fought a global war across two oceans and survived.

One corrupt president isn’t an existential threat to our nation. What would some of you do if shit actually went pear-shaped?

The fucking hysteria here is just beyond the goddamned pale.
