Don't be a Trump asset

With the vote in the impeachment trial, it is clear that there will be no accountability in Trump undermining the general election.

What does this mean for primaries? Whoever wins is in a fight with both hands tied behind their backs. To counteract that, we must either try to win the general by a landslide or have a revolution. And the former solution is only possible with immense UNITY.

Let me say this another way. We lost our democracy today! We must stop the petty in-fighting in order to be ready to build a strong Democratic coalition. We must not burn down bridges.

We have to FIGHT to get our democracy back. Trump is enemy#1 and he has strong allies, a strong conservative media, dark web conspiracies and techniques, and corporate influence on messages, not just Fox News and Friends.

Their #1 goal is to divide us. Don't respond, "hey that's just like Hillary." or "but the Bernie bros." That's the message they want you to hear with timely released info, to keep the in-fighting going. Division makes us weak to stand against the Grand Ownership Party.

While competition is important, keep bridges and fairness intact. No, "but it's them. I hate them." We need each other and we need to act as one very motivated democratic revolution soon.

So, don't be a Trump asset. Okay?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I have a feeling a lot of those posts are not on our side—hackers, etc.
I saw the same thing before the 2016 election.
I recall that election night when DU was taken down—and that was a calling card from those who are trying to bring our country down.

When it's all said and done, we all need to support the Dem nominee, even if that means holding your nose to vote. We can't let them divide us.

from most democrats against trump, or any republican , if he's still in office then, which I don't think he will be. republicans are allowing trump to destroy their party now, and people are running away from them. Don't believe the polls . they've been corrupted. His numbers are worse then they show. trump tries to make it about personal issues, instead about policies.
