    There’s always a next time.

    It might not be at the regularly scheduled time, there might be a bunch of extra bullshit, it might take much longer…

    But there’s always a next time.

    The alternative is giving up for good, and if that’s what you want to do, that’s your choice.

    But there’s no reason for you to hang around and convince people there’s no next time and they should also give up for good.

    Unless you want to maintain the new trump status quo, which hopefully isn’t your goal here.

      The way things are looking right now - and this is only month #1- it’s hard not to feel a little disillusioned

        and this is only month #1

        For some people it is.

        Others reached that line earlier.

        A lot of those people are still regular dem voters and have been for decades, despite the disillusionment.

        Rather than fight with them, why not join them?

        Why not solidify the left?
