Democrats need to offer more than "we're against everything Trump does" if they want to win.

That's funny, because that strategy worked perfectly for the Republicans in 2010 if you just replace "Trump" with "Obama." And Obama had a much stronger mandate than Trump to begin with, soooo...

But according to by-election results it's not working for Democrats.

So then why do Americans have a double standard is the real question.

It's almost as if Democrats and Republicans have different bases of support with different needs and ideals and just coping their strategy will never work.

But No, keep getting mad at voters for not voting for your do-nothing group of whores.

Will do! Americans deserve to be berated. Half the country doesn't even vote, and of the half that does plenty are extremely ignorant and fall for propaganda/fake news that they think must be true because they saw it on Facebook.

This country is a howling, debt-ridden, drug-addicted, dying snake-pit that puts every citizen through a long march to hell until they mercifully die, and both parties got us here. It's a miracle any of us are able to leave the house without succumbing to despair and killing ourselves, so 50% still holding hope that their vote matters and can maybe make things better is pretty good.

Well, that escalated quickly....lol. Point taken.

Go outside and get some fresh air.  And turn off the electronics.  They're stressing you out too much.

I feel like too many people aren't nearly stressed enough. Namely smug condescending dips**ts like IceSpear

Jeez, I don't remember you being so angry and dark.

Honestly, you shouldn't stress yourself out about it too much. There's only so much one person can do.
