Choosing To fight, While We Unite

WE DEMOCRATS are not as down and out as some might have us believe. The fact that Hillary won the election by three million votes is a good sign. Also, there is mounting opposition to this corrupt business of political parties gerrymandering every damned congressional district in the country to make most of the 435 races every two years for the House of representatives moot, a foregone conclusion. Some fine day soon we might actually have house congressional districts all across America which are fairly and reasonably designed, designed by impartial people, for the benefit of the electorate, the citizenry, rather than one particular political party or another. The most auspicious indicator of all for the democrats is the simple fact that, issue after issue, the American people, by a clear majority, favor the progressive, not the conservative position. Man made climate change? Two thirds of Americans accept the reality. Reproductive rights? Most Americans, slightly more than half, are pro choice. Most Americans support state sanctioned gay marriage, and most believe transgender people should be allowed to use the restroom corresponding to their gender identification. Most Americans want to raise minimum wage, and most Americans want to keep Obamacare, a fact which will become increasingly, painfully obvious to Trump and the right wing, soon. So, progressives across America, hold you heads high, but be ready to duck the crap Trump and the right wing are going to be throwing at us. Not only is the fight not over, it aint even begun. Rarely if ever has the United States of America been a "united" country. Perhaps we can unite now, and fight at the same time. It may be our only choice.
