Osakagreg's JournalDemocrats NEVER Swing Back
I understand that taking the moral high ground can serve humanity well. This is why I am a democrat. During the Hillary campaign I said something (and got bashed for saying it, as well as having the post removed.) I said that she was too nice and that she smiled too much when I wanted to see anger and passion. I think my comment was misunderstood as an attack on women (for whatever weird reason.) It was not. It was about the fact that passion and anger sways voters AND at many times, it is completely appropriate.
Bernie's passion served him well. The DNC did not however. Trump's anger served him well, although he's a complete moron and the Russians served him well, too.
But let's talk Pelosi, she's under fire, and I feel like Democrats are not standing up for her. Trump dismisses climate change as a hoax and Dems take a deep breath to deliver a calm response.
Obama is under fire, and yes he is a private citizen. But who's standing up for him in our party?
I don't want to see Democrats abandon their moral high ground and fracture like Republicans did. But I would like to see them get fired up and come out swinging for once.
Actor Don Cheadle reports extraordinary racist/sexist Trump Comment
Don Cheadle's twitter feed yesterday read (about Trump) "Hated him since he asked my friend's father at a Doral pro-am if he'd ever 'f*cked a nigger...' Did it for me."

Has Trump created the most successful political cult in history?
The more I think about it, the less I am able to identify his administration and followers any other way. He is a cult leader. He is brainwashing his followers with lies.

Is America "Still" The Greatest Country In The World?
Is America "Still" The Greatest Country In The World? Has it ever been?
I think it certainly has been the greatest country in the world. But Trumps idea of "Great" seems to contradict world opinion as well as my own.

They break it - we fix it
It seems Republicans have to destroy everything just so Democrats can have something to fix for them. It's an endless vicious cycle.
Opinions don't work when weighed upon different sets of facts
I can't recall the last time I heard an argument from a Republican that was not based on their own set of "facts."
These days, all opinions might as well be thrown out the window. They never reach further than their own base.
Who is going to take the time to present all the hard evidence that disproves the foundation of lies, that so many of these Republican opinions have been formed from?
Commentators and surrogates argue non-stop on cable news programs every day. They argue with their separate set of facts.
How does this nonsense end?
Republicans discredit reliable fact checking sites as biased lies. Maybe the articles need to have embedded video.
All I can say to them is that there is a reason that their party has become so fractured. I understand how it happened. I understand how they used the fuel of hate and anger by allowing outright lies and hatred to circulate without challenge. Their side did not stand up for the truth.
But I can't tell them that. Or at least I have not figured out how to. It seems that they have to discover that on their own. And unfortunately there is generally only one source that they might trust. Presently, it seems to be Fox News. But even that source is giving way to Trumpism. What happens when even that slips away? Where will they pledge their allegiance to next?
We will absolutely win the Senate back, and here is why...
As soon as Trump loses and his campaign managers walk away he will start spewing hate all over Twitter, and begin his racist, sexist, idiotic rants again.
In fact, he will probably give the most dangerous "concession" speech possible. All the horrible things that he is about to do are going to reflect very poorly on all of the Republican senators who have supported him.
It's about to get very bad for Republicans.
