Reading the posts here is surely depressing to me. this is supposed to be progressives and socialists? you must be kidding. I do not think Democrats are the same as Republicans! Especially now there are a lot of very worthy candidates who care about the problems average Americans are facing and who are ready to fight for our rights to a more representative government that will support education, healthcare, a clean environment and safer gun laws.

Just because things are the worst they have ever been (under a totally Republican President, Congress and Senate!), that does not mean that all of our representatives and hopefuls should be painted with the same brush!

I agree that the money needs to be gotten out of politics - this is a problem that has led to the buying of politicians such as we have now - mostly the Repgnantcans supported by the likes of the NRA, the Koch brothers and big money corporations that have pushed the corruption to the current extent where they are not even trying to hide it.

It is my hope Trump does not start another war. My son already saw enough action in Iraq and I hope they cannot call him again. He is a ex-Marine. He got hurt in Iraq with a bomb that blew up close to him. Luckily he recovered 100%. He had other injuries too but not as bad as the bomb.

One comment. People including myself see the Democrats as spineless but the Republicans are as spineless as the Democrats. Not all Republicans support Trump 100% but they are afraid of speaking out in favor of the voters.

The Democrats are a party of big business and are not in disagreement with Trump on the crack down on immigrants, reducing taxes for corporations and their owners or his warmongering although the dems would rather nuclear armed Russia was the target.

I thought he was going to drain the swamp? haha!

Ain't gonna happen. I can see the Orange One getting a second term!
