But words have meaning and when we communicate it is our responsibility to accurately convey our meaning. Not the readers job to accurately interpret them. The meaning of your words clearly convey the opinion that there are no real Democrats on the committee. Regardless of your intention.

I politely suggest you go back and edit it to say you wish all the Democrats on the committee were real Democrats. Were you to do so most here would then agree with you.

Have a nice evening.
