When Dotard finally dies the nicest thing people will be able to say about him is 'he's dead'.

The Catholic church been providing cover to child rapists for years, whats one more.

Re 14 - Not much chance at all. But Democrats seem to be writing off states, and just winning CA and NY isn't going to be enough if things keep going the way they are. My dad was a Democrat State Representative in MO beginning in the late 70's and used to joke that the GOP got offices in the basement. Now, Dems are in the basement and can't get elected, and it seems this state is a write off to the Democratic Party. Very frustrating.

Re 13/15. Sorry, just tired of Democrats losing. Laughing at the idiocy of the GOP is fun, but won't keep those same idiots from getting elected. You're right - its Christmas, so I'll just say to myself 'Lighten up, Francis'. Merry Christmas!

We can ridicule this cretin all we want, yet here he is, a Senator. So the question is - what message do Democrats have to have to beat this moron an election? Cause he'll win again unless something changes. Or is the message 'wait for Dotard to screw things up'?

There's no number of dead kids that will cause any movement on this issue. If Trump wants to be the authoritarian leader he dreams of being, he's gonna have to figure out how to get guns away from the citizens - maybe they'll end then.. lol.

So true - societal issues like this are simply a distraction and something to divide the middle so the wealthy can screw us all. And Democrats keep taking the bait.

McConnell complaining about judges and appointments is rich. Hopefully, after his next fall, we'll never hear from him again.

Interesting how fascism sets in right when the 'great wealth transfer' from baby boomers to younger generations is beginning. Corporate America and the wealthy (aka Oligarchs) aren't content to let that money be passed down. They are going to use any and all means necessary to get as much of that 84 trillion over next 20 years as they can, democracy be damned.. if we let them.

I have stated before - I have never voted for a fkin republican in my life and never will. Dotard has done nothing for me - the day the bullet missed him was the worst day of 2024. I live in a red state s****ole and am tired of Democrats losing elections. People suck, and counting on them to make the moral and right decision is a losing strategy - it's why we're where we are today. Dotard should have been shot for treason after Jan 6, and instead, he won an election. Why???

Re 6/7 - this falls in the 'no sh**, Sherlock' category. Obviously, Democrats will have to come up with - or reemphasise/repackage their already stated - policy positions to back up their stated goals of HOW they will help the the middle class. Taking policy positions to ensure Tommy Transgender plays girls HS sports, or Bob Blackman gets a reparation check, or Inez Illegal can waltz across the border with no consequence are loser issues for Democrats and really do nothing for the middle class as a whole except divide them. Sure, Democrats may be able to claim the moral high ground but that doesn't do anyone any good if they cant win an election to pass new legislation.

Mitt is correct. Democrats should accept this and pivot away from trying cater to individual groups of people - 'gay' 'trans' 'poor' 'African American' etc - get back to catering to 'middle class' and leave it at that. Then, if youre gay or black and want to take a chance on the GOP, go for it. As the liberal Harris voter I was, even I find this 'they/them' thing somewhat mind boggling and know I'm not alone. Dems look lost and foolish when cornered about this on TV and try to explain how someone with a penis and beard isn't a man. I'll be crucified for this point of view, but IMO until democrats drop this type of identity politics, they'll keep getting beat. Calling people that voted MAGA 'filth' and acting morally superior to them isn't going to make them vote Democrat again, either. Democrats should simply say, 'we're going to work to make middle class America's life better' and go from there.
