How anyone running in the Democratic Party thinks they can run and win on hate is beyond me.
You don't call the Democratic candidate for PRESIDENT a bowl of shit that you are forced to eat with your vote. You do not call the highest ranking member in our House, a highly respected black man who is our majority whip STUPID when they supported Nina's opponent. It is beyond me to see so many supporting this rhetoric.
We had this hate with DT and we sure as hell do not need it within our own party. It is hateful and divisive and you can leave it at the door.
Sometimes I think some just don't want to win unless it is their way or nothing... So off the cliff we go? Not while I am alive. Vote. Vote for the candidate that can get things done and not for a pipe dream that can take a decade. Fact is, we don't have a decade.

Democratic voters like the Democratic Party. Progressives need to show that we support the Democratic Party living up to its true values, not trying to tear it down, said Sean McElwee, the co-founder of the liberal polling outfit Data for Progress.
Uh, yeah.
