A pragmatic approach, but there's more to life than making money and keeping under the radar, and time makes changes. Let's hope it's for better.
On the other side, what could be worse than Trump Reloaded? Guess anyone, if the Congress trends remain. Ask Obahma.
In addition to the 2016 presidential election, Democrats lost big in the 2010 and 2014 mid-terms. First the House and then the Senate. They and Obama were filibustered to death by the GOP for all but two months of his 8 years, and Mitch McConnell refused to let him appoint a Republican judge to the Supreme Court ( Merrick Garland ) during the president's last 11 months. Now he has no problem holding a SCOTUS confirmation vote for Judge Kavanaugh just 2 months before a Congressional election. Or for that matter releasing 42,000 pages of documents on Kavanaugh literally 24 hours before the hearings began!
I partially blame the Dems for not playing dirty politics the way the Republicans have. Of course the media is corporate-dominated, owned, and operated. The corporations are mostly conservative, and Donald Trump knows how to play the media. That's a big part of why he is in the White House now.
