Guns relates to the NRA "shotgun"alliance with @gop. Apparently it takes gun money to fund their campaigns. I'm with Biden: shotgun suffices for personal protection. I was crying all day, cancelled rehearsal, until McCain thumbed down ACA repeal. These are real policy differences

They're not real policy positions. The Democrats haven't even *attempted* to pass any real gun-control legislation whatsoever in 33 years. The ACA was designed to increase profits for big pharma and big insurance and put it on the taxpayer's dime. They're *all* bad. Really.

There have been attempts at banning semi- and automatics, bump stocks. I was disappointed in the ACA, but insurance company support helped it to pass. I am committed to single payer gov'mint healthcare: "to promote the general welfare"..."and to secure the blessings of liberty"

They haven't attempted to ban any of those things. All they've done is publicly suggest it and then blame Republicans when nothing is done. Democrats are not our friends. That's what I'm saying. I know it's hard to hear, but it's true.

I love to hear your opinions! You may be one of our select few leaders come Jan 3, 2019. OF course, SOTHOR Ryan is House boss, and nothin' good gets past him. I am hoping for a Dem wave, as I think it will be incrementally better, and we can try to pressure Dems as we may.

You can't pressure them when you vote for them. Pressure can only be applied with promise of votes, or no votes.

Defeating an incumbent (if for a salient recognised defect) sends the message to the next candidate but one that change required. LBJ admonished his supporters to stop sitting on their hands and to pressure him for what they thought was right, so he could be seen as giving in.

Not all Dems are unfriendly, and some of them want to work with Independents for several reasons. Finding and building your cohort in the House will be gratifying. And last, TAKE NOTES FOR THE BOOK, WIN OR LOSE!
