I want progressive dems too but I'll vote for any Dem over a republican, period. Because it's the SANE thing to do.

Doesn’t that mean you effectively prefer a far right GOP candidate over a “corporate Dem”? How does that help?

If you have issues with so-called corporate Democrats then run yourself. Volunteer for a campaign. Push the candidate further to the left. To save The Republic we will take ANY yellow or blue dog Democrat because they can't be blackmailed by Trump over the primary base. Vote.

Exactly. If we don't get Democrats back in control we can't demand anything from a right wing radicalized GOP who are tyrannically selfish to the core. As citizens we can hold Democrats accountable, we can change the structure of the party, but only after they have won elections.

We need a congress that will check the president. That’s their job. GOP Congress is failing. Need to vote democrat.

It may not be today, next month or next year but trump will become the most hated man in American history and the misery universal.

I realize I’m subject to recency bias but which man in American history is more hated than trump is right now?

well I did say history so that includes a few pretty bad presidents i.e. Hoover.

Nope!!! Disliked/dispised but not a visceral hatred!!!!

Nixon?

I’d say Andrew Jackson. Trail of Tears—genocide of Native Americans.

The difference is people at the time didn’t care about what Jackson did to the Natives. I don’t even think he was hated until many years after his death. People started examining what we had done to the Native Americans and were horrified. But this was after the fact.

I think the people he was slaughtering probably cared

Who doubts Trump takes personal pleasure in knowing his "gutting" of Obamacare causes actual pain and suffering in actual people?

Enjoying the suffering of others-the hallmark of sadism-can be part of the picture in “the dark triad” in personality : narcissism, psychopathy and Machiavellianism. People high in the dark triad traits callously use people to their own advantage.

Trump bragging about a policy that may cause the deaths of thousands of Americans and the #GOPTaxScammers are happy too. #VoteThemAllOut

There are 51 countries that have successful NationalHealthCare. It isn't free but private insurance will soon be unaffordable if #GOPTaxScammer continue to steal from us. Our larger states could fund their own #singlepayer and change the game.
