How can you still be a Republican? How can you look in the mirror?

Is there an end to the hate?

An end to their hypocrisy?

If they cant change due to the shame they deserve WE must put shame on them, somehow...

The right in America now is the worst enemy America has ever faced, no former enemy managed to get this much damage done to Americans on American soil...

I am furious...I hope you are.

Honestly, it's gross. Working class people who live paycheck to paycheck vote against their best interest all the time. They protect the rich because they're so deluded into thinking they can be someday, too. It's disgusting. I can't and will not talk politics with those people. It's no use. They are oblivious to facts, reason, math, science, and lack compassion and decency. I don't even want to engage with them on that other site. I live and work with those people. I don't want or need any more in my life.

Ugh, rant over. Thanks for letting me vent. Whew.

The recollection that Hitler never even got a majority vote in Germany. He just maneuvered his way in among the several parties of the time (ranging from Monarchists to Communists), an then outlawed everyone else.

These days, it seems that you don't need to outlaw your opponents; you can just overwhelm them with money and take away their power through various stunts such as gerrymandering, vote suppression, and machine rigging.

That is the key....VOTE!!!...if any message from the right wing weasels is more clear, it is the voter suppression they engage in as a matter of policy. It is singularly clear that they fear voters more than almost anything else, other than, possibly, an educated electorate. Let us instill, amplify and singe them with that very fear....we need to become the nightmare for republicans, we want them to wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, trembling and weeping with voterphobia.

Full Faith & Credit of the Nation in their Economic Hostage-taking (the same Hostage-taking that Teabagger Cruz is crowing about right now).

NO MORE NEGOTIATING!

Since republicans say we don't negotiate with terrorists, as Democrats we should make clear that republicans are the terrorists.

long on the same planet as us, see the same things, experience the same environment, and still be so horribly fucked up about everything.

One reason is rightwing news and blog sources, without those maybe we would have a shot, but they exist for a reason and they are working.
