6. Absolutely! But too often getting Democrats & those on the Left to work together is like herding cats

with their ability to rationalize and believe it's noble to NOT vote for a candidate who breaks their eggs on the small end. When if they disagree with a candidate on a single issue, that's enough to just not to vote for them.
American presidential elections are binary. Our next president will be either Biden or Trump. If you don't vote for Biden, that only helps Trump from one degree or another. That's it, and it's such a simple concept that Democrats should be embarrassed if they cannot grasp it.

A protest vote, or not voting as a matter of principle, seems like something Democrats do. Probably because they are better informed and less easily swayed than Republicans. But sometimes perfect is the enemy of good, and that is most definitely the case in the 2024 presidential election.

are in the tank for Trump, The GOP are planning massive interference in the election before, during, and after. I don’t like our chances even if we win by large margins. Also, there is the bought and paid for Leo Court ready to act in any way needed.

At this point, I an not sleeping well.
