There is a big push coming from the establishment -- the meme: "bipartisanship."
The antidote to partisanship is NOT "bipartisanship" it is
Reality.
Our leaders rise above partisanship when they confront truth and reality head on and take the actions demanded by the facts.
The only way any elected official or candidate can prove commitment to our founding principles over party is to fight for those principles regardless of partisan concerns.
There is nothing partisan about declaring your intent to see that War Criminals are brought to justice. There is nothing partisan declaring your intent to rescue the Constitution.
Instead of recognizing this and
actually rising above partisanship by fighting for core principles, the so-called Democratic strategists think the antidote can be found in cynically "going along to get along" and saying they seek "bipartisanship" and won't do anything the fascist faction might object to (which people across the spectrum assume is insincere as demonstrated the assertion that Pelosi is just mouthing what the right wants to hear to mollify them -- something echoed repeatedly here on DU and elsewhere).
Nothing could be more wrong-headed than attempting to "rise above" partisanship by playing more partisan games. When they buy into the "bipartisan" meme, they once again condemn themselves to the substance-less world of image.
