Typical Democrat thinking. Instead of planning your escape you should be thinking of ways to recruit, organize, get more young people involved, take to the streets, and #RESIST like never before. In all this Trump fog I think people forget what has been accomplished over recent years...
- Passing healthcare reform
- Legalizing gay marriage
- Recognizing the contributions that gays and women have to offer in the military
- Civil Rights (long way to go OBVIOUSLY. But it's why we don't give up!)
- Making strides at protecting our environment
- Decriminalizing marijuana and starting efforts at justice reform
- Electing the first African American President
I'm sure I'm missing a ton of stuff, but this is ALL Dems! The GOP has contributed zero to any of these things and fought tooth and nail against them. What Dems are terrible at is messaging and politeness to a fault when it comes to getting in the gutter and matching GOP tactics of fighting dirty. Trump got elected due to racists and people's disgust for corruption in politics. He's delivering to his racist base, but sold them an empty bag of goods at getting rid of corruption. Anyone with a working brain cell knew him to be a pathological, narcissistic, racist, conman the day he rode down that escalator and announced his candidacy.
The Democratic party is flawed to be sure. They need to hear the message of the American people and stop kowtowing to big corporations and their entitlements, lobbying, foreign wars for profit, etc., and start listening to the American people. We can do this! But if you're planning your escape, then the time to GTFO is NOW. We don't need you. You're apathy and/or unwillingness to fight is part of the problem. The rest need to start organizing, finding young progressive politicians to lead the way and crush in 2018 and then again in 2020. Don't turn tail and run away now imho.
