The Lincoln Project Project - SOME MORE NEWS

I'm sorry, I don't trust the Lincoln Project. They want to help get rid of Trump? Awesome, but don't let them put a single finger on Democratic policy, don't let them achieve their goal of drawing the Democratic party further to the right. Do not give Republican operatives undue focus or attention from the Democrats.

giving Republicans a concession or two for helping us dump Trump. That's politics.

We can achieve tremendous gains if the Dems have the WH, Senate, and House. Any Republicans who come over are welcome.

Helmut Kohl is my copilot and all that. Work toward the world you want, but from within the world you have.

At this point, I've become the thing I swore I'd never be - a one-issue voter. The issue is the fact that Donald Trump is the president, and he has to go. I don't entirely care how he goes. We can deal with who's aligned with whom after that. If that means attracting a bunch of Republicans who won't work with us after the election, so be it.

3. I haven't seen them demanding Democrats adopt right-wing policies

However, some members of Biden's team are working with some members of Sanders' team to come up with mutually agreeable policy.

Lincoln Project has stuck with attacking Trump and his senate enablers and they're doing a great job at it.

4. Another "I don't trust these guys" statement

We've trod this ground quite a few times already.
No one is asking you to "trust" them. No one is claiming they are Democrats (or share Democratic values and agenda). And no one is inviting them into the Democratic party.

But thanks.

6. I agree. . . But the problem with Dems is that they don't know how to fight. They apologize over

"inappropriate" ads, etc. . . . Dems need to learn to NEVER apologize to repigs-- NEVER, NEVER, NEVER. . . . Never again. Dems need to learn how to steam roll the fucking repigs, and I mean just mow them down and force through Supreme Court justices, etc, and fuck what the repigs think. . . . .
