  • Not helpful

    Democrats are our only way of getting back to democracy. You aren’t helping by dogging them relentlessly. No party is perfect but one is Fascist.

  • We need Maidan-US!!!

    I think that says it all. The Democrats are so weak. It’s almost as though they are colluding with the fascists.

    Andrea, I feel we need a call for an Occupy DC movement. We need thousands of people to clog DC. W are in a war for democracy. We need our own Maidan. People in the streets continuously until the regime is forced out. Not by guns, not by toothless court cases, and unfortunately not impeachment alone.
