We need to field candidates in all 50 states. We have to get back to the big tent party ....all views are accepted and respected...moderate and progressive. We can't win without all the Democratic constituencies. But you have to see, the Greens and third parties are not Democratic constituencies...and can not influence our party. We need to encourage people to join and participate in the Democratic party and that won't happen by constant complaining about our party. We need to fight crosscheck legally...but we do have limitations...shining a light on their misdeeds might help. However, elections are managed at the state level. That is a fact. We need to win in 18 and 20...and Nina Turner and her ilk won't help us...don't expect it...she is bitter and hates the Democratic Party.
