Dear Congressional Democrats, Please make the Republicans own their agenda.

**Re-posting to the correct forum

Whatever they want to do to Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA, Social Security, the environment, finance regulations, taxes, you name it, do not co-sign their bullshit. Do not try to mitigate the damage by getting some small concession passed. For example, please do not vote for a gigantic tax cut for the rich in return for a meager hike in the min. wage to $9,00 which will be phased in over 15 years all in an effort to claim some bullshit compromise or bi-partisanship.

The Republican agenda is a disaster for every non-super wealthy American, and even if one Democrat supports any piece of it, these ass clowns will claim that their agenda was bi-partisan. That both Dems and Republicans voted for a gigantic tax cut for the rich.

Resist their agenda at every fucking term because if you don't, I will stop donating money to the DNC entirely. I will instead contribute money to any primary opponent running against any Dem incumbent.

Appeasement is losing strategy.
