12. So we should ignore the needs of our party members, in fear of 'what the next GQP president may do'?

FUCK that.

The Republicans don't hold back 'in fear of what the next Democratic president may do',
while they screw over OUR constituents and many of their own,
and likely will cause the future deaths of many of BOTH....

THIS is EXACTLY the sort of attitude which has led MANY "grass-roots Democrats"
to conclude that the Democratic party is
"WEAK"!
(meaning the officeholders, not the party base!)


If we can provide comfort to our party members when we actually HAVE power,
that makes it LESS LIKELY that they NAZIS will be able to UNDO it very soon!

FDR learned that lesson. Why can't we?
