An orange man, who lost majority votes by over 3M, was impeached twice

for crimes against our democracy, nominated and got approved three Supreme Court dictators who will now attempt to finish off our democracy.

We are in for the fight of our democracy. We are in great peril.

Vote D no matter fucking what, if you give one damn iota about our democracy, you will do so.

No more if this well, they attended a corporate fundraiser, I just don’t like her, they are just as bad cause I won’t get Medicare for all., etc.

HELL, we are on the precipice of losing our democracy.

This threat MUST supersede all other considerations.

If one isn’t on board with this, get out of my face and I will vote to hide on this website every post that implies something like the above outlined.

Then I will vote straight D.

Thank you, in advance.

We need to start supporting Joe Biden no matter what. We can’t let them runoff at the mouth and lie and slander him without saying anything. They have got a third of the country hating the nicest kindest man you would ever want to me. Pure hate all on made up lies

4. Yes. Anything other than support at this moment in time is working for the other side.

People want us to be more like republicans strategy wise, we could take this one small lesson and get ourselves a win.

So far he has been an excellent president and there never was one that worked harder. Plus he’s a regular guy. I have no problem supporting Joe Biden wholeheartedly. I just wish the rest of our Democrats would do the same every chance they get

whipping people into obedience isn't going to work. We don't own them. Our leaders must inspire, attract support.

Yes, low information voters blame the wrong people for what's wrong in the world (in their lives).
Some percentage of voters who feel ignored by their party WILL stay home. Not all, but enough.
We need candidates who can reach them. There is no other way.

are useless to us moving forward. I am a progressive and I believe with all my heart in progressive ideology. But I am prepared to move to the middle and get the votes we need if we have voters who don't want to vote Democratic in every fucking election then we will find new voters. Democrats never had big majorities without a big tent. Get on the Democratic train and let's send these f'ing GOP asses packing.

"Well, you know, both sides are the same." We expect that kind of douchebaggery from the right. It should be heresy for those of us on the left.
