We can not be silent ever again. This is our Democracy. This is our lives.

a bit trusting. I think it's cool that you make a point of greeting new DUers (even if some of them turn out to not deserve it)...

And so many here think it can't be done. So little faith. When there's a will, there's a way. And there is will. There has to be a way around the problem of newly gerrymandered districts. Never say never is my motto. I say we pick 100 vulnerable districts throughout the country and work them to death with GOTV for two years. Surely we could recapture the majority again. I'm a wishful thinker, that's for sure.
