A Wretched Start for Democrats nyti.ms/2FGr9ne I agree. I'm so demoralized by it. I'll vote for one of them, but I wanted to vote for someone who made me feel, if only ever so slightly, a sense of hope.
I wanted to vote for someone who seemed to understand that somehow, we have to make the country whole again.

Both parties now share a vision of "winning" as "maximally enraging and triggering" the libs or the Trumpsters. There's no place, in either party, for common sense.
For centrist sensibilities. The last words these people would ever say are, "We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies." An especially ill portent given that Americans do have very real enemies who thrill to the sound of our bitter discord with one another.
I'll vote for one of them because I have to: We can't leave Trump in the Oval Office for another four years. But how strange that we can't produce even one politician who makes me to think, "Cometh the hour, cometh the man, thank God someone among us has risen to the occasion?"
