Don't be done with the party. In a two party system where one party is trying to destroy the planet, there is no other choice. But DEMAND NEW LEADERSHIP.

Doomerism is not productive.

A handful caved.

Many are calling it out. Sure, it's not enough---maybe---for now.

This is very likely the thing that transforms the party.

We're all disappointed, but such pessimism and nihilism doesn't change anything.

You have a big platform. Do better.

Good stats, really.

but Doomerism isn't productive---and perm repub rule won't happen. The big states will break away before that happens.

If the YouTube clip isn't showing up, it's the meeting between the King's commander & the Scot nobles

...until Wallace "picks a fight"

"Here are the king's terms. Lead this army off the field, and he will give you each estates in Yorkshire, including hereditary title, from which you will pay..."
