in order to fix this mess we, Democrats, need both the house and the senate.

Democrats need to educate these people, they continually make the wrong choices because they do not try to inform themselves, not even do a little research before voting, so it is up to the DNC to do whatever they can to educate these people, to try hard to open their eyes about how bad things are going, how corrupt republicans are.

We are watching "Theodore Roosevelt" in Netflix, I read the three books of his biography by Edmund Morris, it is very comprehensive, the documentary is very good, it is a super summary of the books, although I am not sure the documentary is based on Morris books. For anyone who does not understand what being progressive is, this is a must read. I have always called TR the last good republican, a man who changed the USA for the better, one that even republicans didn't like, for obvious reasons.
