We start looking for perfection when we should be just looking to beat the Republicans and wins seats.

WHEN we win the majority, THEN we start perfecting our message, our clientele, our platform.

We can welcome ALL OF THE NEW GUYS WITH NEW IDEAS to join the current party platform. There is nothing wrong with the establishment Democrats and it is their nature to welcome new ideas.. And, we can ALL treat each other with respect.

Look at WHAT we are fighting AGAINST.

ALL DEMOCRATS need to form a United Front against the alternative.
