lol.
This skirts the line of an image only post, and definitely needs an FTFY. Also, the substitution of an image for another's post is NOT to be repeated.

No, the first job of an American President is to uphold and defend the constitution.Yes, Reaganomics was a bit too extreme economically, but you can't deny that he was respected as Commander-in-chief of the U.S. armed forces compared to Carter, Clinton, and Obama. The first job of any American president is to be respected by the U.S. armed forces. Reagan was liked by them.
That would go against everything I stand for. Are you a leaf that can be blown away by the wind, a sacred well that is spoiled by the plot of a frog, somebody who will be hospitalized by rumors of a tempest in a teapot?Moonbeam, please do us all a favor and never again quote investors business daily about anything again.
Both parties are growing extreme. A party that boos God at a political convention can't be called mainstream.

It is fine to be independent when there are good things and bad things from both parties. There hasn't been a good thing coming from Republicans for a long long time. Anyone who is still an independent is only because they hold Democrats to a way higher standard than Republicans.Ah, I see, anyone who is not a Democrat or a liberal or a progressive is a Russian.
Trying to silence dissent, hmm? That is the same thing you are doing. Projection.
I'm a Hillary voter, but I moved on after the election. You can't. You didn't see Bush/McCain/Romney voters still rattling about the 2008 and 2012 elections 2 years later like this.
I'm glad to be an Independent. Not beholden to anyone.
Get out of the echo chamber, the country doesn't represent Democrats alone. Your party has a LOT of flaws before they make their case to why they should win in 2020. You don't have 2020 in the bag, remember that. It's February 2019, anything can happen.
it's the republicans movement to the extreme right that make the democrats look like a left-wing party when it actually isn't. it's centrist.Both parties are growing extreme. A party that boos God at a political convention can't be called mainstream.
I don't consider myself to be a democrat as thay are not liberal enough from my point of view. Demos seem to be what the republican used to be before they went off the deep end.It is fine to be independent when there are good things and bad things from both parties.

That depends on what "God" is saying dont you think?Both parties are growing extreme. A party that boos God at a political convention can't be called mainstream.
That's great and all but you hopefully still vote straight D in order to stop the destruction of our economy.I don't consider myself to be a democrat as thay are not liberal enough from my point of view. Demos seem to be what the republican used to be before they went off the deep end.
I generally do unless there is a person running that reflect my values better but try finding a Green Party candidate in NC., not very many out there.That's great and all but you hopefully still vote straight D in order to stop the destruction of our economy.
The green party is backed by the Koch brothers anyway. Please try to understand why voting 3rd party in America is a bad thing. If you want viable third party options you need to push to change our electoral system first. Until we change it a third party vote is the same as voting for the party you hate the most.I generally do unless there is a person running that reflect my values better but try finding a Green Party candidate in NC., not very many out there.
Lol, so one month into taking back control of the house you expect them to already being doing the things you expect them to be doing?
I don't know if you are naïve or just your typical "both sides" idiot but I suggest you lower your expectations as legislation requires both houses and senate to work together and that's not going to happen with Republicans in charge of the senate.
Surely the nature of the senate, and how it's elected, means its likely that the Republicans will always be in charge of it, barring some massive demographic shift? With 1/3 of the population set to be electing 2/3 of the Senate, to me, as an outsider, it looks like simply a broken system.

Wow. The main job of your head of state is to keep the military happy? Interesting what company that puts the US in.
I really am skeptical about the obsession with 'Russian trolls' or 'Russians' in general. But your comments just seem weird to me. This one seems more appropriate for somewhere like Libya or Pakistan or Burma or somewhere where political power depends on keeping the military on-side.

Time for facts. In 2018 midterms Democratic party managed to gain majority in the House of Representatives. GOP still holds majority in the Senate, GOP still controls the White House, and GOP has 5 judges out of 9 on the Supreme Court. 2018 congress was sworn in on 2019-01-03, today is 2019-02-04. It's been 31 days since they have been sworn in.I am an Independent, I'm looking for a good party to vote for, and I don't see it. I voted Democratic in the 2018 midterms because I wanted to see them have a check and a balance on Trump and talk about small business growth, education, national security, etc, but I have not seen them do so yet. I am a disillusioned Independent, and yes, I see extremes in both parties.
