    See, this is why you’re full of it though. You undercut yourself:

    There are many opportunities to act in between elections, but come election time there is none.

    Guess which one applies now. I’ll give you 3 guesses.

      No. What is happening now is blanket criticism of the party, which is does not apply at all however you want to read it. You want to critisize specific politicians for specific actions, go ahead, want to organize primaries to get them out, perfect, want to start movements and pressure groups to change their policies, fantastic. But just saying democrats bad is 100% counterproductive, which has been my point from the start. Again, this is not the democrats are good, but they are significantly less bad than republicans and all actions should go through getting republicans out of there.

          No, in fact they are the agressors. And while pro-Israely politics are the same across both parties, the rest of the policies aren’t that close. As I said, they are not good, just much better than the alternative.

        So first it’s the wrong time, and when you’re called on it then it’s too generic an action, despite the article citing specific actions by specific senators and representatives. Got it. I know this trick: Next it’ll be the wrong specific criticism, before everyone is racist for criticizing Cory Booker. Been down this book; can you try something new for me for once?

          I see. You are happy that Trump won. Also that the democrats lost the senate with Obama and Trump got to appoint 3 Supreme Court justices. You could have started there.

              There are only two parties, either you prefer one to win, or you prefer the other or you don’t care about which. There are no more voting options and the booth and it’s preparations are times to be pragmatic.
