29. Stop It - Just Stop It People - First Things First....

And So It Starts Again - The Bashing.....

You need to decide whether you are a Repug or a Dem. If you are a Repug - you have no business posting here. This is called Democratic Underground.

If you decide you are a Dem - then all Dems (including Independents that caucus with Dems) need to focus and ban together to defeat the Repugs and the Trump Administration in Nov. That is where all our emphasis needs to be directed now.

Don't let the Repugs - confuse the issue and define us. There is plenty of time after we take back control from the insanity that we've experienced since Nov 2016 to work within the Party to define ourselves and the form of government we want to work under.

Dems of all persuasions (including Independents that caucus with Dems) amongst ourselves will work on a 'bi-partisan' basis to compromise and define ourselves as a Party. And that's more of what we were used to - when the Dems and Repugs could compromise in the past. Those days are gone between Repugs and Dems - but they're still alive and kicking within the Dem Party.

What I'm seeing happening here again at DU is we're getting back into the conflicts among ourselves that we had in the campaigns of 2016 and we're beginning to fall into the same traps. We just can't afford to be sucked into that conflict again. You all know what I mean.

Our mission here and now is to defeat the Repugs and Trump and to take back control from these treasonous bastards. If you choose to accept that mission then don't get sidetracked by these definitional road hazards that the other side is trying to throw us off in.

The Midterms need to be an historic election. In order to take back control we need to turn out the most people ever to vote in a U.S. election. The Repugs are focused. They will cheat and steal votes by any manner that they could. Voter suppression, gerrymandering and help by Putin and the Russians is all in play and if you want to defeat that then the only way is to turn out in numbers that they can't overturn without casting suspicions and exposing their illegal tricks.

No Dems - now is not the time to get into conflicts amongst ourselves. Now is the time to ban together and take back control. If you can't handle that - then get out of the way and let the real Dems (including Independents that caucus with the Dems) do the right thing.

But Bernie is Not a Democrat... [View all] pbmus Jul 2018 OP

Sorry Bernie until you become a real Democrat your words mean jack shite kimbutgar Jul 2018 #1

jack shite to some; to other Democrats, like me, he is very welcome to comment. aikoaiko Jul 2018 #2

I voted for Bernie in the primary kimbutgar Jul 2018 #6

You're entitled to your opinion. I'm still good with Bernie. aikoaiko Jul 2018 #26

What Party. He hasn't served the Dem Party anything but division Wwcd Jul 2018 #37

+1 kimbutgar Jul 2018 #42

He is a role model for every lefty independent out there with gripes about the party but won't join. aikoaiko Jul 2018 #53

Sounds kinda self-defeating. OilemFirchen Jul 2018 #64

I'm not sure he pushes people to join the party, and they probably wont aikoaiko Jul 2018 #68

So that is a yes Trumpocalypse Jul 2018 #77

Again, depending on what you're talking about, it might not be an attack in my eyes. aikoaiko Jul 2018 #86

Might not be an attack in your eyes? Trumpocalypse Jul 2018 #102

I think reasonable people can disagree on what is an attack and what is criticism aikoaiko Jul 2018 #133

Think some are trying to have it both ways Trumpocalypse Jul 2018 #142

It's clearly his comment about Dems being for "the 1%" that is an attack. bettyellen Jul 2018 #132
