Democrats and any who oppose the Trump party---a moment, please.

[Atticus]

The 2022 midterms are still over a year away and already we are hearing about Democratic "factions" and "divides" and speculation about who "deserves" to win our upcoming primaries.

Can we stop this crap---NOW?

I am not "in love" with some now contesting Democratic primaries, but you can bet your sweet bippy that I would vote for ANY candidate chosen to run in the general election.
And, to those who may respond with "No one can tell me who to support", I say "Wonderful!" Support any candidate you fancy in the primary but then, --- pull on your big boy pants or your big girl panties and vote for the Democrats---straight down the ballot from Senate to school board!

We need EVERY vote in '22 to preserve and expand our majorities in both chambers of Congress. If we lose either, ------well, the results have already been forecast here by posters more qualified than I am.

Discuss candidates? Of course. Criticize fairly? That's what primaries are about.

But, please, folks---resolve now to vote for every Democrat on your ballot in the general election. If you feel you have to hold your nose to do so, fine. Just do it.

Any Democrat smells better than any Republican.

[Leith]

1. Agreed

It often happens that a person who I was not my first choice in the primary wins. Then I find out that there is a lot to like about the winner. I always vote for the Democratic nominee.

And extra kudos for "you can bet your sweet bippy."

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

25. Hillary Clinton wasn't my first choice in 2016.

I voted for Bernie Sanders in the primary.

But I damn sure voted for Hillary on Election Day. I would have stood outdoors in a cold rain for hours if that would have been what it took to cast my vote to keep TFG out of the WH.

[padah513]

2. Yep

I'd even hold my nose and vote for Nina Turner in the GE if she was in my district. Glad I don't have to.

[wryter2000]

26. I would, too

She’s still better than 99% of Republicans.

[Ferrets are Cool]

3. Yes, but aren't those phrases usually from the OTHER side

or media, which is almost the same thing?

[wnylib]

16. Your point???

[Ferrets are Cool]

33. Is that 'WE' can't do a fucking thing about what other people say

especially the OTHER side.

[abqtommy]

4. Yeah, in 2020 those damned divided Democrats provided 81 million votes to elect the

Biden-Harris ticket. This is snark, of course.

Expect more of this trash talk since lies and terrorism is all the reTHUGS have.

[KS Toronado]

5. Democrats always smell better than any reQublican

Because Qrump never drained the SWAMP.

[mcar]

6. It shouldn't have to be repeated

but thanks for doing so.

[monkeyman1]

7. QRUMP makes a septic tank smell like rose's!!

[wnylib]

17. I'd think it was just the reverse.

[monkeyman1]

21. TFG smell's worse than a septic tank & republican cartel !!

[demigoddess]

8. That is how I vote. Democrat only. If between a male and female democrat, I vote

for the woman. If no democrat in the race, I do not vote for the republican. Let them see how little support he has.

[calimary]

9. YES!!! A thousand times a thousand!

Can we STOP this crap - - - NOW???

[Mr.Bill]

10. And in states like California

where local elections are considered "non-partisan" and no political affiliation is listed on the ballot, contact your local Democratic Office and ask who they recomend or check their website. They know who the Democrats are.

[pnwmom]

11. Also, there are often online sources. In WA state, there's the Progressive Voters guide

to tell us what parties people belong to, in a "nonpartisan" race.

[wryter2000]

27. Good idea

Those often stump me

[Mr.Bill]

32. Republicans here will even go as far as to

masquerade as Democrats is subtle ways. Maybe mentioning something in a mailing about supporting the Sierra Club on some issue or something like that.

[OMGWTF]

12. "Bet your sweet bippy" LOL! That's from Laugh-In!

[Atticus]

13. "Um-m-m------Want a Walnetto?" nt

[wnylib]

18. Walnetto? Are you sure that word

is in your Funk and Wagnalls?

[wryter2000]

28. Soupy Sales first

Chez Bippy

[Harker]

29. That's how I came to know that I had a bippy to bet...

and that it could be sweet.

[Cary]

14. Cue the "we can walk and chew gum" schtick

I've preached unity here for decades. I wish you better luck than I've had.

[Escurumbele]

15. "Any Democrat smells better than any Republican." This is good for a bumper sticker...

I am only kidding, although it is true, it promotes violence if made into a bumper sticker, your car will not be safe.

I will confess that Joe Biden was not my first choice, but when he became the nominee I didn't say "well, he was not my first choice, so I will not vote, or even worst, I will vote for the other party candidate..." What Atticus is saying is very true, it doesn't matter who the Democrat is, right now we need to increase our numbers, if republicans win any of the houses this country is going to the dumpster for most of us.

The republican party IS trump today, if you allow these thugs to win we will have trump again, maybe not him physically (he should be in an orange custom before the next elections), but his sheep which is 98% of the republican party will.

We need to vote for Democrats in 2022, and we need to talk to anyone who may be thinking about sitting the election out, we need the votes, we need to send republicans to their respective homes, although I would like to send them somewhere else, but that is not here or there. Lets vote Democrat, and lets make sure that those around us do too.

Thank you Atticus, your message must be repeated over and over.

By the way, so far Biden has been a wonderful surprise, I am glad I cast my vote for him and Kamala...and all the other Democrats.

[bringthePaine]

19. no malarky!😬

[usaf-vet]

20. Since my first election to the last.... I didn't know there was any other way to vote. 74 years...

... no need to change now.

[mikewv]

22. Amen....

[PJMcK]

23. Thanks for the pep talk

I always vote a straight Democratic ticket.

[wryter2000]

24. That's a no-brained

Mostly, I’ve seen quotes of “journalists” talking about a divide between Dem factions. We don’t need to feed those trolls.

[Captain Zero]

30. It's why I'm mostly uncommitted during primaries.

I know I'm not voting for fascists In the general.

[monkeyman1]
