The thing is, no one seems to have an answer as to what to do next. Hedges and
West seem to be saying that you fight for what is right because it is the moral
thing to do, even if you know that you won't accomplish anything. I suppose
that that's all we can do. There certainly are lots of people trying to make
things better. I just think that things have gone too far to be able to fix
them.

Well, if Obama's goal was to become president, then he had what he'd come for.
His nature appeared to be one of compromise, and he went right to work
compromising away our Single Payer Medical Care even before we had it. It's
probably an over simplification, but Obama appeared to have no goals beyond
getting re-elected for a second term.
Whereas Donald Trump sees his shaping of America central to his own business
success after he is finished in office. For Donald Trump, the presidency is
not the goal, but the means to reaching his goals.
Anyway, until we come to our senses and understand that so long as money rules,
Americans will suffer more and more. And I see little discussion regarding how
to go about changing the bottom line.

It would be helpful if the Republicans didn't have a majority while
Trump is still president because the Democrats would vote against what

evident in Obama's first two years when he didn't take advantage of
the Democratic majority in congress to make meaningful change.

Just in case you think the Democratic Party can change, or the DNC
listens to the People, here's pretty good evidence to the contrary.
Starting with the idea that all we need to do is to "Flip" a few House
seats and the sky will turn blue and the little birdies will sing.
Flip? How about telling me what you plan to do with the money you are
begging. And why are you able to come tap, tap, tapping at my door
with your hand out, but you can't come to sit and listen to my
concerns and the needs of my working class brothers and sisters...you
know, those People you once supported? Those labor unions? Those
under paid clerks and fast food workers? The elderly? The little
children who will grow up deep in debt because you failed them? And the
following is the sort of crap you send me?
My financial support, small though it is, goes to organizations who
put the money to use in promoting health and security for the Working
and Lower Classes. You and your Republican Brothers can gather at the
doors of the Private Clubs and Board Rooms, and beg to your hearts content.
But if you change your mind and do decide to join with us, the Workers
of the World, then we can sit together and we can show you where you
might be able to assist us.

Democrats
Join us.
Pitch in $3 before tomorrow's end-of-year FEC deadline to help
Democrats compete and win in all 50 states.
DONATE
I thought I was pissed off just watching Republicans vote for their
disastrous, wildly unpopular tax bill -- but seeing them laugh and
celebrate their "victory" at the White House with Donald Trump really
set me over the edge.
Enough is enough, Carl. We are putting every single Republican who
voted for this cruel tax scam on notice.
Tomorrow is our final FEC fundraising deadline of this year, and time
is running out to show the GOP they will pay a price for this vote.
Chip in $3 now.
QUICK DONATE: $3
QUICK DONATE: $10
QUICK DONATE: $25
QUICK DONATE: $50
QUICK DONATE: $100
Or donate another amount.
We've got our work cut out for us -- in order to take back the House
in 2018, we'll need to pick up 24 seats. Let me be very clear:
Democrats can absolutely
do it. But regaining control of the House means we have to start
organizing and investing right now -- not in a few months, not in a
few weeks. Right this second.
Chip in $3 today to send a message to Republicans that we're kicking
them out of office and electing Democrats in 2018.
I am amazed and incredibly proud of what Democrats have done together
this year. Now let's take that energy and use it to win victories in
all 50 states next year.
Thanks for your continued support,
Jess
