I was soooo excited when Obama was elected and I could finally get healthcare coverage and so many other things I thought were important. Then along came McConnell and republicans to fuck things up. Then for no reason I can fathom we lost seats in Congress. I will never understand "democrats" who can't support their own party. I'd love to win an election that we actually win instead we have to constantly have to put up with DINO'S on top of republicans. I fear it will happen again and I can't take it again.

Whenever you go, make sure you and your friends/family/co-workers turn out and vote in the midterms no matter what. The midterms are more important than the Presidential election and until Democrats understand that and vote, nothing will change.
Good luck.

Now that we have a Democratic House and Senate we are no longer unified. Weird.

(12,399 posts)I had to leave after Bush and Cheney made me cry whenever I looked at our flag. My anger and sadness was ruining my health and marriage. I had to take a break and find other projects and interests, and eventually I could see the whole picture from a better perspective.
Keep voting while you are on sabbatical. That is one thing you cant put aside. Otherwise, come back when youre ready to rejoin the good fight. ❤️
