The Democrats are feeling pretty good that they didn't get crushed in the mid-term elections. They held onto control of the Senate, but will probably lose control of the House. This is not acceptable and I consider it a overwhelming failure. All of the Democratic leaders should be replaced. Yes, they didn't get crushed, but their opponents were all pledging loyalty to a corrupt, incompetent, treasonous opponent. It is 100% clear (at best) that Donald Trump would have happily throw out the legitimate results of a election and remained in power if given the chance. However, it is much worse than that, he actively inspired and helped people to try and make this happen. This is treason! Trump is a corrupt as they come, surrounds himself is complete loyalists, and promote completely unqualified candidates. Yes, the Democrats can't win over anyway, except their own base.

He will also have a very conservative Supreme Court (although I wouldn't consider them loyalists, yet). If that happens, there is another reasonable chance that he will do everything possible to ensure that every meaningful election moving forward will be corrupt (to ensure that he, his children, or his loyalist remain in power indefinitely). If this happens, it will be devastating for the fundamental principals of democracy, individual freedoms, objective media, and the experiment that is the United States. Although unlikely, this is very possible and similar things have been done, in other countries, a multitude of times over the past decade.  Even if the chances of this are 5% (and I would say they are 30%), the Democrats are doing virtually nothing to ensure avoid this outcome. They NEED to say... "Look, if Trump
