Vote Democratic.
Vote Democratic.

If your vote didn't matter, Republicans wouldn't be trying to intimidate you into staying away from the polls. If the parties were the same, leftists wouldn't tell you to give Republicans power to destroy our country and bring on their fantasy "revolution."

The Obamas are brilliant, compassionate and patriotic Americans. They represent the best of this country.

Donald Trump is a vile, unhinged and malignant bottom feeder.

Why are GOP leaders like John Thune continuing to stand by him?

Republicans must immediately denounce Trump’s disgusting bigotry.

Repulsive.

This President is a disgrace and every Republican should have to answer for Trump's disgusting behavior.

I’m not the first to observe this, but: Mike Johnson functions as a staffer to Donald Trump, not as a speaker of the House. He has made this august, important role teeny-tiny. He is smaller than Stephen Miller and the like. It would be pitiable if it weren’t so consequential.

It is not illegal to watch, record, follow, or track immigration officers. It *is* illegal to threaten, punish, or point a gun at them when they've done nothing illegal. If all these people were doing is observing, this is a crime. As are all the similar videos.

We can't let this become normal.
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Agree. This is a character test for every American and so many have failed.
The United States is not actually in a constitutional crisis. Our Constitution works just fine.

We are in a crisis of character — where nearly every single person who has sworn an oath to uphold our Constitution and enforce the law lacks the courage, moral fiber, and decency to do what is right.
the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system

You want quick movement on this stuff, here's how it works:

Redirect your anger at Democrats to the media. They can end this all in a week's time if they stop with the bullshit and start calling Trump what he is: a brain-addled old man dead set on the ethnic cleansing of the United States.
