I support traditional Dems and nontraditional Dems and want both to support me.

[blm]

I will continue to support Obama, Biden, Kerry, Warren, Clinton, Sanders, and…....

….. everyone else who has put their neck on the line against the Republicans and have been doing so in public arenas Republicans have controlled for over the last 2 decades.

This is for those of us uninterested in harping on the few points that divide us or the mistakes that have been made by us mere mortals because we know that is akin to giving aid and comfort to the real enemy who have become diabolically masterful at using it against us. And I most assuredly consider this current manifestation of the GOP an enemy of America.


I will not click on any post targeting our 2016 candidates or taking unnecessary potshots at our outgoing WH. I'm looking only at stopping TrumPutin's agenda for our country and the world and the GOP agenda of maintaining power by suppressing Democratic voters in swing states. For me it is all hands on deck.

1. Big Tent K&R ! (nt)

2. A Big Tent gets the bigger numbers.

Can't afford to dismiss people that will vote for you.

3. Are they just "nontraditional Dems" if they use RW talking points to attack Dems?

I'm all for a Big Tent, but it's much better to have them inside pissing out than outside pissing in. I don't care who the fuck they are. Using RW talking points to attack Democrats doesn't help Democrats win elections.

I would have thought that was obvious.

6. RW talking points is where I draw the line.

I was a Bernie voter who saw too many manipulated by RW strategists and trolls who used the Dem primary to plant their propaganda they would use in the general.

I have a pretty strong sense of troll posts. But, then, I've been fighting the RW lie machine since the 80s - the younger ones and newly engaged weren't as keen. Don't fault them, just tired of always correcting them. That's why I have no interest in clicking on threads from either group still trying to blame each other for the results of what MOST CERTAINLY was a successful strategy for GOP's reliance on CROSSCHECK to purge swing state Dem voters.

But for Crosscheck, we'd be transitioning Obama WH to Clinton WH right now.

4. This is a good start to moving away from primary's bitterness.

Kind of a Hippocratic Oath for posting on DU.

5. Indeed....

one of the first orders of business needs to be taking back the state houses and the senate and the house.

That was a trend that was neglected nationally for too long and should be addressed immediately each time a senate seat or several house seats are lost before they become large enough to place us back in the minority party seat at the table.

7. And non-Dems as well.

Anyone willing to criticize and resist Trump in public is welcome, in my opinion. Even other Republicans, if there are any left with any principles.
