I do agree with your assessment, but I disagree with presuming to know posters' motivations much less their health status so I used your words to illustrate the point.

I am a lifelong Independent, but agree with your assessment that the Dems need to be more realistic in their assessment of their current powerlessness, "let the current administration wreck itself" and remind themselves that elections require getting the majority of the votes not pontificating from a high horse.

That said we cannot sit idly by while the Constitution is shredded. As usual in recent history Congress is impotent and the courts are the last line of defense. The mid-term elections are the key and the Senate races will be tough for the Dems.
