They look a little lonely.

Maybe they shoulda hyped it up for a few months and work everyone up into a frenzy and tell everyone they gotta show up because we gotta fight fight fight for our democracy and that it was gonna be wild!

Good. Drastic action is needed if we have any hope of preserving what Benjamin Franklin was reputed to have said when asked after the 1787 Constitutional Convention to describe the American government: "A republic, if you can keep it."

Trumpers seem to prefer a monarchy, consolidating power within the executive branch.

Because they are such Patriots.

Dems need to hold a mass retirement.

You incompetent corporate ----- lost to the most evil and corrupt leader we've ever had TWICE.

Step aside now and let a new generation who rejects corporate influence take over.

It's working out great! Since they have made themselves completely irrelevant they no longer have to work at all! And they still get paid. And they get all the good insider trading tips to fatten up the old stock portfolios for retirement.

It's a sweet sweet deal. The gift that keeps on giving!

The Democratic party can go eff themselves. They are losers to the core. I'm sick of them.

Some want to blame Democratic Party leadership; I don't know. Maybe they are right but I think it is the voters who have failed. We let the Republicans off the hook after Jan. 6 and we should have been in the streets demanding that Trump go to prison for that insurrection. We only have ourselves to blame. I feel shame for not doing more. Blaming those like Corey Booker who are out trying to get us off of our couches is foolish; why aren't there thousands of Democrats in front of the Capital supporting the sit-in right now?

Danni. I was half serious.

Why didn't they call us and ask us to join them?

They actually have my phone number. They called me hundreds of times last year for support.

Maybe they have given up on us?

The way Trumpy is able to communicate and coordinate with his maga base is something Dems should probably put to better use and emulate for good instead of evil purposes maga is using it for.

A sit in Danni?? Really?? That's all the Democratic party has been doing. Sitting on their duffs while Trump destroys America. They have become a worthless party. I hate it but that's the truth of the matter.

Anyone else here the think the Democratic elite actually loves what Trump is doing to the country but too cowardly to say it openly?? I think we've been had by both parties and it's only going to get worse. After all Trump is working for the same oligarchs that control the Democratic party. It's the only thing that makes sense to me.

What blows up the margins are long strings of characters with no spaces. Make it hard to read on a phone because it shrinks the font size.
