the Democratic Party's. The other 10% they're either direct attacks, such as repeal-and-replace the ACA because it wasn't Sanders' legacy, or in unachievable rainbow-unicorn land, or both.

Such a shame their MAIN agenda is replacing enough of us "corrupt" Democrats to take over the party. I usually am able to shrug at most of their attacks, but the genuine unhappiness at the recent wave of victories over the evil forces on the right just has me still too disgusted for that.

Sanders makes no bones about his needing to take over the party to "reform" it, and new seats gained by Democratic candidates put dents in their delusions. The sad fact is, this is all far more about gaining power than issues (just ask all the Hispanics in Virginia who supported Northam), and the obvious, disgusting reality is that they're in an enemies-of-our-enemy situation.

Putin is desperate to keep the Democratic Party out of power because we are THE American threat to his hegemonic aspirations, even to his continued personal power. So he attacks the Democratic Party.

Same for the GOP's masters, the new American plutocratic class. Obama used his limited power to remarkable effect, considering, to start taking them down, and we absolutely intended to continue that. So they attack the Democratic Party.

The radical left piggybacks long rides on vicious lies from both to attack the Democratic Party. Plus, unfortunately for their goals, right now all the current negative media attention to the Republicans is not negative media hits on the Democratic Party that they can use to attack the Democratic Party.

So what's new with this, except of course the two huge, existential threats to our democracy from kleptocrats within and without?

On the plus side, in some districts Progressivs are getting some new people out with their message. That's not nothing, just close to comparatively and when it's all settled out. Also happily for us, they're currently not able to hurt us because the Republicans are making us look really good.

Poor dears...
