15. I'd like to know exactly what we're supposed to do to not be divided in the face of this?

I constantly hear how much this is soooo divisive every time shit like this happens. So, when Donna let this bombshell drop, what was the proper response so as not to be divisive? Just go along with it?

I think it's more important to keep our eye on what we're supposed to be united on. What is the point of being united if that's just going to be used against us? We'll just be led by our united noses and forced into agendas we don't want. Being united won't do a damn bit of good if we're forced to unite for anti-Democratic ideals.

No. I think if we stay focused on our goals, that will naturally unite us. It isn't divisive to fight for those goals.
