Witnessing the carnage in a rear view mirror?

The Republican Party has been wrong since I've been voting. Some are good actors, but they were all puppets.

10. HE IS TOTALLY RIGHT! If you think we can win with a WEAK PATHETIC "be nicey nice" campaign we

will get beaten soundly. The R party is an ultra radical Trump Cult, and Crystal, though conservative, is
not a crazed Trump Cultist and wants to save the country.

He is 100% right. What is he saying in the interview that you do not agree with?

Elections are a CHOICE. You BRAND the opposition. And, MY GOD, is there a TON of SHIT to brand the R Party with!

They are INSANE anti-democracy mega-radicals who stand for NOTHING except attacking democracy, suppressing voter rights, giving endless tax cuts to billionaires, and worshipping the world's biggest racist liar facist narcissistic ORANGE LUNATIC that ever walked the planet. IT IS THE TRUMP CULT!

And if we don't make this crystal clear to voters and try to play nicey nice, to
"be the better person" with a pathetically WEAK campaign, we will lose and probably pretty big in the fall.

As we consider 'life-long" Republicans, wouldn't it be great to have even just ONE crawl out from under the "Trump Tower" and the "Turtle Shell" and stand up to tell ALL Republicans: "Hey! This guy is NUTS! Don't VOTE for him!"

I, for one, would be willing to accept his help........

They are interested in keeping our country a democracy..this is the paramount goal, and if they reach some conservatives to vote democratic ...that we couldn’t, then kudos to them. We can kick em to the curb over other things later

9. HE IS 100% CORRECT! For God sake listen to WHAT he says and not "who" you think he is.

Are you saying the Dems can win just by saying "Please vote for us because can't you see all we have done and are trying to do?"

NO! You make it a CHOICE. And BRAND the OTHER party! And in this case the other party is FUCKING CRAZY and ULTRA RIGHT WING! They have no business being in power.

WEAKNESS WILL FAIL!!

Dems cannot wimp out again. State what we are FOR, repeatedly, strongly, clearly.
It is a fight for democracy in this country.
Thanks for posting.
