If you don't like America . . .

Don't leave - stay and make some noise.

you can't be seeing the end of democracy b/c there never was a democracy.

I am as well. I still debate about how much time the American empire has left and view it as an oligarchical fascist police state. I have also read Chris Hedges' book: America: The Farewell Tour.

I have felt that way since DUCK&COVER nuke war preparedness drills in school.....the only way democracy can survive is to vote for honest peace waging candidates....liars for polluter oil war crime profiteering bankster zionists run both parties as a single duopoly fascist machine.... vote @HowieHawkins20 all the rest are evil or have no plan to fix it all

Yes

I don’t think there is anywhere to run. Possibly best solution for your personal wellbeing is to stop and try to appreciate what you have or can aspire to have.

Focussing on what you don’t and can’t have is no solution to any situation.

We are only discovering what has been going on almost from the beginning of the nation. Under capitalism, it is not your vote that counts, it is who they pick and chose, the vote is only there to give the illusion of choice, and it has been that way . . . . the internet has is only making it more apparent.

while the change in the house was positive I tend to agree with youl Unless we can take the senate and get rid of tRump it looks too much like the changes seen in the 30's in Europe and east

In the 2018 midterm elections, the Democrats, led by Nancy Pelosi, won control of the House and gained 41 seats from their total after the 2016 elections (including one seat gained previously with Conor Lamb's March 2018 special election victory). The 41-seat gain was the Democrats' largest gain of House seats since the post-Watergate 1974 elections, when they picked up 49 seats.

The Democrats also won the popular vote by a margin of 8.6%, the largest margin on record for a party that previously held a minority in the House.

Democrats also won control of 6 more states.

Turnout was the highest for a midterm election in more than a century, with over half the electorate casting ballots.
