The party has lost working people to a racist cult. LET'S WIN THEM BACK.

2. the only 'toning down' I think I've ever witnessed is coming from the

people that are (legitimately) appalled at chants of "Genocide Joe" and open approval and support of Hamas.

And, no - I continue to be skeptical that I want to 'pick up' these people - or their 'revolution' or agenda. While remaining pretty sure they really don't deserve a place within my party - or my vote. While similarly harboring quite the same sentiments about 'picking up' racist, anti-immigrant, anti-abortion/anti-gay 'union guy'. And - if this is the kind of rhetoric (and character) that I am being asked to support ... (as in 'tone down') Then, no - and probably no again.

I think I'll be sticking with the old "standby' Democratic values. Really not into racists, or fascists. or bigots - regardless the banner they march around under.
