6. These authoritarian threats are tiresome Hawk

When you have to threaten democratic voters and call them names you are getting kind of , well, Trumpian.

Trump threatens us and calls us names because he hates democracy and wants to crush us while stealing everything we have.

I think you are just angry because you see a plan for victory possibly slipping away.

If you want to influence democrats I think it best to just make your case without the attacks and insults
