"Depressed" isn't quite the word, Garrison. "Dumfounded", "enraged", "bewildered"...I can't quite get the right one.

When words fail, however, humor and and a little history always helps. Thanks for providing that respite for me.

Good comments, Garrison.

The Democrats need to take a look at politics and I mean practical street politics which is about winning elections at the state and local level. I remember many Democratic women in 2016 who said that they could see no difference between Ms. Clinton and Donald. Say what?

If you don't like what the politicians in Congress, state legislatures, and the courts are doing, then elect some different people. If you can't do that, then forget about it.

In our recent primary election in Alabama, 23% of registered voters went to the polls statewide. Consider that there are many people who could vote but they are not registered. So as you say a very small percentage of the population decides these issues.

Best wishes to one and all.
