Fellow liberals:

Given the nonsense that I have encountered here, at times, I regretfully have to say that I am reluctant to consider us as fellow travelers. I want to feel at home with you all but some of you have seen fit to play games and to use that against me. That is disappointing and unfortunate, but then if I become cynical then they win.

So I address you all as fellow liberals. It's my choice.

A third of our electorate are bad people and they will never.recover. I am referring to the cult followers, not to fellow liberals. I have cut down on my exposure to the cultists but they are a fact of life and I remain exposed. There is no way around that.

Their cognitive dissonance is a cancer. I fight that cancer every day but we have about 18 months until we cut them out. I am certain we will cut the cancer out but 18 months is a long time to be sick.

Please, fellow liberals, let's keep that in mind when we interact. Let's grow up a little and stop shitting on each other. We have a Nazi in the White House.

...in my opinion.

There is an old saying: Justice delayed is justice denied.

I'm not sure that this situation does not apply?

4. Some are obsessively shitting on others, as if it's sport. They feel morally superior. Just stop.

If they hear you and have the ability to reflect instead of just reflex, they may yet grow up and help, instead of hurt, our party unity.

5. You are assuming that they are of us.

I hearken back to Occam's Razor: when faced with a.complex problem that has multiple answers choose the simplest. It may not be the best answer but choosing the simplest answer will help you the most in working through the problem.

The simplest answer is that those who divide us do so because they want us to lose. I am re-reading Malcolm Nance's "The Plot to Destroy America" and this is exactly how Putin is working to destroy us.

You understood my point perfectly (and I agree with you) so you can see where I am going. Right?

6. Right. I would like to think they are of us. It seems like it's a sickness. Maybe a different kind,
