Every Dem--Progs., Mods, Conservative--needs to recognize one thing about this country

Almost half of American voters want some form of Facism. Whether it's Economic Facism where only those in the dominant group benefit to the detriment of others or Social Facism where men can subjugate women or heterosexuals subjugate the LGBTQ community or Racial Facism or Xenophobic Facism, regardless of the form, over half of this country voted for that.

This is not going to go away any time soon. The only way to stop it is stay united. All factions of the Democratic party need each other. Need to listen to each other. Need to hear each other. No voice should be dismissed because they think that they're on the take from lobbyists.

So, let me humbly propose an idea. How's about members visit each other's district and talk to the voters directly. I'm not talking about some sort of raucous town halls where people grand stand. I'm talking about small gatherings of Democratic voters, no more than 12, speaking directly to representatives from outside their district. Think AOC visiting Connor Lamb's district and vice versa. Everyone talking together openly and directly. Heck, have the meetings facilitated by professional counselors if you want.

Just remember we all must hang together or we all hang seperately.
