I had enough during the early W years after their hysterics with Bill Clinton, since then have been of the mind that Ds have to learn no matter what they do, Rs are going to paint them as America and god hating communists/socialists.

So, why worry about saying the simple truth about them?

Say the stuff you are afraid to say overtly.

But, yes, we lose ground every time in the cycle, Rs screw things up, we are the adults and fix some of it, they are even bigger disasters the next time they get into power.

And, agree 1000%, it is on us at large, not the pols.

Its the idiots who elect them or that sit at home and leave our 1/3 to try to be the adults.

Its tiresome.
