The Democratic Party is done. It lacks leadership.

[LS_Editor]

It refuses to allow justice to run its course with Franken by waiting for the Congressional investigation to even start moving.

It will refuse to shut the government down and stop the disastrous GOP tax plan.

It cannot defend the Republic if it cannot defend itself or its constituents.

1. The Country Is Done

It's all a joke. I see myself somewhere else in 10 years.

2. republicans in the senate are happy as clams over democratic attack skills nt

[Calculating]

4. Yup

No solidarity at all. Republicans are all standing behind Moore because they know what's at stake. Dems pushed Al franken to resign so they could keep their clean image or something.

3. Yep

Over doing what thousands of politicians have done before him when taking campaign photos with supporters.

I sure hope we democrats can focus on the destruction the republicans are doing to this country and making a real case on why the American people should elect us next year.

5. Clearly, there is a lot of leadership with regard to defending women.

14. True, but it's so 50s

The time to stand strong against groping accusations was long ago. Maybe even a statement could have been made and heard with Clinton's infidelities

The Democratic leadership and brain trust seem to be on vacation. They're claiming harassment is the number one issue for women. They show no evidence of that and I'm not sure it really is in 2017

Stretching yourself thin trying to support your kids and/or care for an elderly parent, keep up with home, car, education loans... seems a little more contemporary

Edit to add: In today's world our workplaces, retail spaces, education and medical fields, etc all generally have harassment policies of some kind. Not true a few decades ago (which is where the Democrats seem to be coming from)

6. The Democratic Party is certainly not done. It has weathered worse times than this.

During the Viet Nam war it was torn limb to limb and survived.

[Kirk Lover]

7. I know. I'm hoping folks are just pissed and emotional and will come to their

fucking senses.

[Irish_Dem]

11. I agree totally. The hyperbole is mind blowing. nt

[Kirk Lover]

13. I say let em vent but this needs to die down in a day or two and we need to get back to

business here.

[Irish_Dem]

15. I agree 100%. If not, the GOP and Russia won.

I've witnessed very dark times.
JFK assassination, Viet Nam War, Kent State, Nixon, Bush's illegal war, etc. etc.
Heartbreaking tragedy. So I am having a hard time wrapping my head around what I am
seeing here today.

[Kirk Lover]

16. Breaking news re: Russia....more undisclosed emails.

[Irish_Dem]

17. As you say, KL, time to get back to business. nt
