(7,583 posts)The "other side" seems almost united in their goal of power and control. They do have a few people that are former GOP leaders who have a little courage, but very little, because even when they were in office they too cowered to the extremists.
As Dems we all have similar ideas and principles - some more progressive than others but always the idea is to be better. Even if some of us can't agree on the details or even some of the agendas that does not mean that we are not the better choice.
Very important that after all of the rhetoric we stick together, to unite, with purpose of protecting our Democracy and helping everyone have a better life with the help of our government. Government is not the problem no matter how many times the GOP says it is. The government should represent the people instead of corporate interests, the wealthy, or those that think they are morally superior.
Hang tough, Tigeress - we need you and everyone else in a time when our very Democracy is being attacked at every front. I worry that some of us might not fight hard to have their voices heard because their individual choices are not being acknowledged. That is how Trump won - people did not turn out.
Democracy must win!!
