2. Wow. Very powerful.

Thanks for posting that. There is such a stark difference between how Democrats/Progressives speak vs how Republicans/Conservatives speak. Our messages are always more about hope and inclusion and a vision for the future. Theirs are always more about hatred and blame and how they want to take us back to a "better time." (Which actually was only "better" for the rich, old white men in charge... so basically, better for themselves.)

I am always proud to call myself a Liberal Democrat - capital "L", capital "D" - but never more so than right now. We are unified and we are rising to the challenge of the moment. And we are doing so together, with our voices and our votes. And we have only just begun.

Republicans poked the bear. They are about to find out exactly what that means.
