These are not "normal" political times.

Democrats cannot operate as they have in the past. They cannot worry about how they vote because they live in a "red" state. They must unite behind the rest of the Party.

If they cannot unite in dire times, such as these, there will no time for them to put country over Party.

If they cannot vote with the Party and stand against the SC nominee, they cannot rely on Democratic voters to cover for them in their next election. That is the reality that we are faced with.

The times have changed and much more is demanded of Democrats than in the past.
