How many times have we heard Trump and his band of thugs tell us that "the people"
agree with them; that "the people" support them; "the people" want assorted Democrats in prison? The Trumpian version of "the people" only includes those who worship at the altar of Trump. Democrats recall the soaring original COMPLETE concept: "WE the people---"
"The people" does not equal "America". "WE the people" does.
We---all of us---regardless of race, gender, faith (or none ), wealth or poverty, age or political affiliation---"We the people" are America and "We the Democrats" understand that.
That, as much as anything, puts the lie to "both parties are the same".

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
