Related: About this forumAn Open Letter to the Democratic Presidential Candidates
https://nuntiatum.home.blog/2020/01/06/an-open-letter-to-the-democratic-presidential-candidates/I would like to see a lot more unity and a lot less sniping and one-upping from Democratic presidential candidates. Whoever comes out of this process is going to have the task of uniting the party and bringing along as many independent, green party and even libertarian voters as they can get out of that 11 million or so who did not vote for the orange headed buffoon the last time. Sometimes I wonder whether the sentiments of the party's grass roots ever get considered by candidates who are operating within their branding bubble.
We need a major landslide win, both houses including a senate majority leader willing to use McConnell's blow-torch on senate rules to shove legislation past the Republicans and fix the damage. Someone needs to tell the candidates.

(156,432 posts)1. This is a very important point and thank you for making it.
We must come together behind our nominee, no matter who it is.
The country will not survive another four years with tRump at the helm.
Vote Blue, no matter who!

Besides, surrogates do all the sniping for certain candidates, so they'll just say that they don't do it anyway.
