*Our moment of crisis didnt begin with the election of Donald Trump, {Senator Warren} said.

“We were already in crisis. We were already in crisis because for years and years and years, Washington has worked just great for the rich and the powerful, but far too often, it hasn’t worked for anyone else.”

“People don’t just wake up one day and elect leaders like Donald Trump because ‘hey, everything is awesome, but what the hell, let’s roll the dice and make life interesting,’” she added.

Democrats frequently enabled or participated in these trends, Warren said.'>>>

And more popular. The question is, will it be too late? I'm very pessimistic in that regard.

to Warren. She would be a great leader if they are willing to follow her example. The kind of politics that others have engaged in for years is done. We have an executive, Congress, and soon to be a judiciary in GOP hands. Most states are also theirs. It's past time to make a change.

check out some of these bills, a lump sum for social security, stalking extended to online posts? as a Federal crime. https://www.congress.gov/search?q={"congress":"115","source":"legislation"}&searchResultViewType=expanded

"extend the coverage of the Federal prohibition against stalking in order to provide protection to friends and co-workers, and for other purposes."

This stuff will be pushed through and no one cares anymore. Once it's law it's impossible to remove.
