Not in a half-ass way. He is a radical lunatic that needs to be opposed 100% of the time. To agree with him on anything only emboldens him and weakens you. Disagree strongly. Nothing he supports, absolutely nothing, is in the interests of Democrats or average Americans. It is doing a disservice to the people of this country to agree with this dangerous and duplicitous person. Democrats need to get off the fence and fight this president and his Party with everything they have got. This is no time to be tricked into a scam of "bi-partisanship". In their book, "bi-partisanship" is when a Democrat agrees with them - not the other way around.

1. Thanks for the reminder.
I think it helps to be about ISSUES, and then, as you point out, be careful who you work with because some "bipartisan" efforts may be more about wasting time, rather than solving anything, really.

4. Responsibility.

That's an issue that is very recognizable to most people, because we live in groups who-did/does-what is a very basic universally recognized fact.

Physical and Economic Responsibility. Both of these are clear winners for certain groups.

3. very good
It needs to be sent to every Dem politician, and every newspaper available, kind of like Martin Luther. Dem politicians. need to be put on notice. They will be expected to LEAD. They must lead the marches- we need 100's of thousands of people in the streets,soon. WE NEED LEADERS,not collaborators.
