Really fight! I am a senior citizen and have been a Democrat all my life, but this is not the time to be civil. We need to take the gloves off and take the fight to them. Our very democracy is in peril. We wake up every day to a new affront to our democracy and everything it has stood for in nearly 250 years. We need to go bold, and never accept defeat. This is a critical time for the USA.
