The Democratic Party must return to the values that once made it a beacon of hope for working people. Somewhere along the way, they veered too far off course—lost in strategy and disconnected from the very base that carried them for decades. That’s why they lost ground.

When the Democrats run again, I can only hope they consult with leaders like Bernie Sanders—someone who truly understood what the people were crying out for. Bernie had his finger on the pulse: universal healthcare, free education, affordable housing. He spoke to real needs with bold solutions. He energized millions.

But instead of rallying behind that momentum, the party sidelined it. They hand-picked candidates without grassroots input, bypassing the very democratic process they claim to champion.

I’m not blaming Republicans—we know where they stand, and they don’t pretend otherwise. I blame the Democrats for turning their backs on their own people, for not listening when it mattered most.

It’s not too late—but only if they’re willing to lead with courage, not entertainment and taking votes for granted.

I'm not giving up on US, 'The People!' We've been down hard roads before and came out on top. Let's not stop fighting for our rights and freedoms. That's what they want, and I refuse to give in to a want-a be king!

I said it a long time ago trump was going to make us a third world country. It’s so said what will we do? A lot of bills won’t get paid. There will be a huge trash, and burn from this. It’s going to be a lot of rebuilding.

My thought exactly. That had to have been first place in their minds while voting on this bill. It makes me wonder what I'll do if/when they come after me too...none of us are immune to this danger.
