Coventina
(27,172 posts)I hate to say it, but I'd trade Trump for W again, if forced at gunpoint.....
Although, I argue that it's because of the successful theft of the 2000 election that allowed this one to take place.
The SCOTUS made stealing elections lawful.
We have never recovered from that.....

Thank you, Admins, for doing what you do. Who knew we would have to go back underground?

(160,623 posts)You know you're hooked on DU when you hear a snippet of a news event, and run to find the story already posted at D.U.!
Wonderful people have brought so much information here, they've made this site invaluable.
Thank you.

(22,805 posts)I am here for hours a day reading. I have learned so much and after living in a politically apathetic family have become boots on the ground active in both the NAACP and the Democratic Party in my great state. I attribute my transformation in a large part to the remarkable voices I find here.
Thank you and Happy Birthday to the Democratic Underground!
