Assaulted from all sides: politics, rhetoric, pundits. Please stop.

It is impossible to listen to the news and impossible to discuss anything political or newsworthy.  I know many who are so in tune with MSNBC, NPR, other news stations and know everything that is happening with the election, with the Trumpness, with the climate, with conspiracy. I cannot tolerate it. I have lost faith in our political process and am 100% intolerant of the electoral process and of everyone running for a slot in the next election. As a Democrat, there is absolutely no chance of anyone defeating Trump.

About this, I am so despondent, so incensed, so angry and so impotent. Yes, one can go to Arizona or Idaho or Nebraska and try to register people to vote, take them to the polls and hope they vote Democratic, but really?  Is that going to swing an election when the Democrats have already blown any chance of winning in November? Had the top-running Democrats sat down at a table four months ago and hashed out what was needed to win in November and put personal political agenda aside, a viable candidate could have been chosen. All others could have committed to support that candidate, stopped all stupid and useless "debates" and simply gone out and started campaigning for the one person who might have had a chance. But that didn't happen and now all we have is a splintered field of weak candidates, not one who can defeat the nazi  incumbent in power. 

It is the above that has had my usually even-tempered mindset in a tailspin.  With my formative years in the 1960's, I am no stranger to political dialogue and diatribe. Bring on a good debate, a good political back-and-forth, that's what Democracy is about. But we don't have that now, we have a Congress of "yes" men, and they will say "yes" to whatever POTUS wants, whatever he says. It is as if to do otherwise means disgrace. Or worse. What dossiers does he have every member of Congress that would make them all willing to agree to his evil tactics?

Therefore, given my current negative state of mind, there has been no writing, no blogness, nothing.  I hope something happens to change my negative state of mind. 

Thank you. Good night and good luck.
