Let me put it this way.

I am highly motivated to trash talk, demonize, hate and to defeat any person running on the republican ticket.

I feel our democracy is at stake.

I have no time nor interest in tearing down democrats.

That interferes with defeating republicans, you see.

So count me in for saving America and out on using this predicament to make democrats perfect in my minds eye.

As long as they aren’t child molesters, rapists, or racist or misogynist or anything of that nature they are cool by me. Because we need to control congress. Almost NOTHING else matters or gets in the way in that effort.

We are at a critical point in our history. We can become trumpland or keep America. I’m interested
in the latter.

convince a Republican who knowingly supports a criminal. A bigoted racist sexual predator who loves the murderer Vladimir Putin.

I ignore any thread that has a title that leads me to believe it's going to start picking the Democratic party apart. I have no time or energy or inclination to even look at it. We all have bigger fish to fry right now. This is one of the worst times I've ever witnessed in our democracy, and I was a young adult during the Nixon years.

Because we have contested primaries.

We should be supporting Democrats even if they're coming from conservative districts.

We should be ripping Republicans for protecting tRump from criminal and/or political liability, exposing them as the sniveling cowards they are.

We should go for the jugular, attacking repukes where they live. If they demand an apology, we should be hitting even harder, not giving them one millimeter.
