Democrats are Americans first. [View all]
As are many Republicans.
America is more important than either political Party. Our democracy is more important than either the Democratic or the Republican Party. Our loyalty to our country and to our democracy must supersede the loyalty to any political Party.
There has been much debate about what issues the Democratic Party should run on, in the next election. Many say they should stick to kitchen table issues. They say that most Americans have forgotten about January 6th and the attempted coup to overthrow an election.
Others argue just the opposite. They argue that no issue is more important than saving our democracy. Democrats cannot forget about the kitchen table issues but they must put saving our democracy at the front of all issues.
They must appeal to the American people to come together for the sake of our country and our democracy. They must put aside their partisan differences and come together to fight the divisive and autocratic cult that threatens all of us.
We must understand that there are many Republicans that feel just as patriotic about our country as do Democrats. This is a time where we need to unite against a domestic enemy that threatens our very existence.
We must find a way for our fellow Americans to divorce themselves from the destructive force that has taken root in our nation.
