    Now ask them how much confidence they have in the Democratic Party to fix it, even if somehow they win some control in midterms …

      Even George W. Bush or Richard Nixon would be a godsend right now - at least they weren’t actively undermining NATO and the US economy.

      Yeah, well…

      That’s just their opinion man.

      And opinions are largely formed off what the media says. And pretty much all the major media in America are sucking off trump or intentionally and constantly ignoring everything progressives and the DNC are doing.

      Shit is better than a lot of people think, because they don’t understand how bad it actually was.

          They can’t do anything DC because they don’t have the numbers.

          The ones doing stuff are back in their home states working to add to Dems numbers in midterms. Then hopefully we can mitigate some damage. Then in the election after midterms we got a shot to actually fix shit.

          They don’t control the House or Senate. Even when they do get a bare majority in the Senate, they refuse to eliminate the filibuster which means the Republicans can require a 60 vote majority to do ANYTHING and nobody has 60 votes.
