I suppose this sentiment, there have been a few posts saying this, might show a bit of maybe panic by the Centrists?

Again the Millennials skew way more liberal than the older crowd and they were key to us talking back the House in 2018.

It’s funny I’ve always been liberal and have become more so as time goes on and I’ve learned more.

We are in a war to defeat democracy, to carve out our political middle where strength and numbers populate. We can't let our choice be a dictator and a sure loser to that dictator. That is the choice dictators foreign and domestic and oligarchs are pushing us into.

That's because dictators don't want democracy, it's bad for job security and bad for their power grab.

With Bernie as nominee he's a stooge for Putin and Trump, wittingly or unwittingly. We get either authoritarianism under Trump, or a weak socialist state. Dictators love both choices.

That's why our moment is here to defend our freedoms or have them stolen from us. Speaker Pelosi has told us, and it should be daily kitchen table talk: 'A democracy, if you can keep it.'
