Why even identify yourself as a Democrat? <br />Do you really think the fact that they have UTTERLY FAILED TO DO ANYTHING for the last two years is an accident? They are part of the problem, they are bought, paid for, and completely aware of their complicity in the situation as it stands. The difference between "Republicans" & "Democrats" is a fiction they maintain to keep the gullible involved. The only thing any of either party represent is $$$. They don't give a fiddler's fart about you, me, the constitution, or the best interests of America. The only interests they represent are those of their corporate masters. Grow up, wake up, and realize this is a rigged game that has nothing to do with the American people or their interests. >Come on, all of you. Why even identify yourself as a Democrat?

Where's that impeachment resolution? Why are you still funding the war? How about the decriminalization that Frank put forth months ago? FISA capitulation?

Whenever any politicians want something they manipulate the system, violate the system or change the system to get it. This isn't about Republicans = evil and Democrats = good.

When the Democrats want to do anything they get shut down, even when they have 100% majority, the President, all nine Justices, and Jesus on their side.

It speaks volumes about the effectiveness of the Red and Blue teams. Pity the Red team is the one that isn't about making the world a better place.
