6. Any differences among members of the Pro-Democracy coalition are NOTHING compared to the Republican threat.
Fri Jul 3, 2026, 04:02 PM

Voters and candidates with any sensory apparatus whatsoever get the absolute necessity to join together in the fight to defeat the evil empire made manifest by the obscenely corrupt, fascist corporatist Republican Party.

The ONLY way to begin to hold them accountable is for Democrats and Independents who caucus with them to win in as many places and by the largest margins possible -- margins that swamp their efforts to suppress and disqualify legitimate votes.

Any action or rhetoric that undermines that goal SERVES the fascist corporatist Republican Party; SERVES the Christian Nationalists; SERVES the White Supremacists; SERVES the obsessive and immoral Anti-DEI and LGBTQ lunactics.

And whatever beefs a DSA or progressive candidate may have with other Democratic electeds and candidates, it is time for them to shift from attacking other Dems to attacking the existential threat of the Republican Party.

Making America a nation we can be proud of is all about building a government that protects our individual rights while providing the public infrastructure and services we choose to provide ourselves.

And a liberal democracy that collectively chooses to socialize certain segments does not make this a socialist county.

It is the Republicans who are hellbent to destroy the fundamental principles of liberal democracy that have been the throughline across our history.

Call bullshit on the "leftist" labeling crap, because it is utter crap
