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

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.
