with this.

There will be attempts to divide Democrats by among others, the GOP and by yes, Russia - we will start to see memes and posts that tear down party leadership for not getting putting solar energy, M4A or other progressive goals first right away. We need to be resistant to those messages.

We cannot do it all at once, we cannot put everything first and foremost. That is not simply being "passive" or "obedient," that is understanding that we are at war for our very democracy and our planet, and we have to triage the wounded.
