Seth Abramson's calling for our candidates to take fierce attack straight toward GOP.

It's unbelievable that we're going to have a massive Democratic field for the 2020 primaries, and not one candidate will say outright what I believe a majority of Democratic voters are thinking: the Republican party is no longer a viable discourse partner in our two-party system.


A candidate needs to stand up and unambiguously tell America that while we're stronger under a two-party system, at present we have only one party capable of governing or even *eligible* to govern, as the other has experienced a moral collapse that excludes it from civil society.

We here are ready for it now, and every day, more become so, imo. We should evaluate every day to what extent others/many others will be ready to accept it, and then from WHOM, who will be the best candidates to deliver it.

And STOP calling them morons; it's offensive, and not at all useful.
