  1. First it was no Russian involvement. Then there was Russian involvement. Then there was Russian involvement, but it did not affect the outcome of the election. Now the reality is that there was Russian involvement, it affected the outcome of the election, and we elected an oligarch that has the strongest sympathies to Russian autocracy. This is not just Trump, and this is not just Russia, this is a global movement for super-rich oligarchs to grab everything they can and assume all power and choke out democracy using fake social networking, but also working with Republican efforts to minimize democracy by failing to support the voting rights act and shutting down the voices of people while giving all the power to corporations and oligarchs to out shout anything else with fake Supreme Court pronouncements like Citizens United. This is the Russki-Publican agenda that comes from the worst people all over the world. Trump and about half of current Republicans need to be removed from power because they got there illegitimately and are incompetent or undermining our system.

  2. There is a good reason I leave out the Democrats. It is not that there are no Democrats who support this Repubican agenda, Max Baucus who queered health care was one of them. Rather the Democrats are not primary in this, and the main beliefs of Democrats are not in line with this oligarchic revolution. The problem is that after Citizens United and even before Democrats to survive had to have money, and Republicans vilified Unions ( as they still are ) in the Congress and Supreme Courts. The Democrats are just lucky to have survived, and I think they were only allowed to survive to maintain the appearance that the US is a democracy with free elections. That is obviously a farce. There are not MANY Democrats as you say, and putting the Democratic party back in charge with competent leadership would send them packing, especially if unions are restored and Citizens United is stuck down. This is going to take a long time, so the only avenue to accomplishing this is with the Democrats, so be suspicious of those who claim to be Progressive but bash and and want to leave out the Democratic party. It needs to be reformed, not destroyed.

  3. Well, one thing we know is the Republicans have gotten steadfastly worse year by year, decade by decades, they have taken over as this social networking and AM radio BS has gotten worse ... so to me, the Republicans, these Russki-Publicans are beyond saving, like the Nazi Party-lite. Since there are only two parties in our election, you better either support Nazi-Lite or hope that there is hope for the Democrats because it is only by taking control and staying involved that the Democrats get any better.
