Please, let's address them after we win back Congress.
Visualize Conyers in the majority.
Visualize stopping any more extreme Judicial appointments.
Please.

1. I agree
I don't like it, but it is a hell of a lot better than the alternative.

3. Oh Rev, I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore.
But yes, doing much better.
Calling Menendez now to give him a piece of my mind, and let him know that I'll be holding my nose to vote for him in 40 days.

6. Are you in Jersey TS.
I am and I feel your pain. I wish we had the luxury of withholding our votes at this juncture but the reality is, we don't. This is fight for our lives, and our country, and if we don't gain back Congress it really will be over.
Sorry, I know it is an abomination to have this dilemma.

8. Same here...
What good is a Dem majority if we have no voice of representation?

7. IF they vote with us.
They didn't yesterday.

But I do see what you mean about control.

However, what control does Harry Reid have? What control does Nancy Pelosi have?

9. none now.
But once in the majority, plenty or at least enough to start turning things around and prevent further damage.
If I didn't believe there were enough decent Democrats to do this once they win back power I wouldn't be on DU in the first place.
