I am seeing a lot of resentment today directed at [View all]

the Democratic leaders such as Adam Schiff who had a part in pushing President Biden out. And I can understand the emotion here. We love President Biden and we supported him for a second term because he has earned it. But now it won't happen and of course many of us are upset.

But at the same time I don't think we really have much time to be upset. We need to pull the party together in order to fight off Trump in November. I support VP Harris enthusiastically but at the same time I do not believe that this election is going to be a cakewalk. Our country is two divided. I don't think that any Democrat could beat Trump in a landslide and it is going to be close. So I think we need to put our resentments behind us and come together as a party so that we can have a better chance of winning in November.
