7. Let's not forget external forces...

...are already sowing division in both parties every day. We now know that Russia and possibly other state and non-state actors are creating havoc on-line using hacking and false ads on social media. This did not stop with the election and affects all political parties, individuals and corporations. This flood of misleading and confusing information then bleeds over into our public media such as TV and web news sources. Thanks goodness that the more reputable news organizations carefully fact-check their sources, but bad stuff still occasionally slips through.

That's why we must fight just as hard for unity within the Democratic Party and be watchful for false, divisive actors, ads and posts.

I feel one of the best ways to put dents in the opposition is to call out every one of tRump's and the Republican Party's lies, while keeping those attacks simple, loud and factual.
