And I immediately queue the Soviet National Anthem in my head.

That's the country we live in. That's why it doesn't matter how mad voters get at Trump. Because if a Dem runs as anti-choice, it'll be some other reason the conservative Missouri voter can't vote Democrat; like immigrants.

When my wife was fired there were numerous platitudes about how this "wouldn't impact patient care," and now a month later they're already closing care centers
Republicans are genuinely, indisputably, and documentably already killing people en masse, even before medicaid gets slashed further

Media: "The U.S.'s efforts to provide rural services are the worst in the western world. Why isn't more done by the government?"
Normal person: "Well, we had those programs but the Trump Administration ended them."
Media: "...I mean other than that."

Democrats, unfortunately, believe the winning message is "We're the Republicans that smile more."

And yes, Democrats are just as much to blame for not offering an actual ALTERNATIVE to vote for, just "we're not Trump, that should be enough." In a sane world, it SHOULD. But it clearly isn't. People are mad at Democrats for NOT BEING DIFFERENT ENOUGH.

Americans are not going to be saved by more elections. Most Democrats want the freedom Trump has grabbed, they just don't like how loud and obvious he is about it.
The Democrats aren't going to save you, either.

The Democrats WANT THE SAME THING. That's why they are trying to oust David Hogg from the DNC and shun pushback by people like Bernie Sanders, AOC, Omar, Crockett, etc. THEY WANT party loyalty over loyalty to truth, justice, or any other fealty you might value.
