A word please

Want to know why Repugnantcants keep winning elections? Yes, yes lying, cheating, stealing, colluding with enemies of the state, watch or listen to the Fux Fake News network, etc. But the one diagnostic characteristic that overrides that all is regardless of how fucked up their candidate is, they come together as a team. This is no small wonder since a vast majority of them played team sports.

Want to know how Democrats can take back Congress? Act as one team not as a bunch of fucking individuals. Want the majority back, because we are the majority, commit to pulling straight D so we can jettison that orange-faced motherfucker. We get no truck unless we overwhelmingly take back Congress. Unite.

As long as they're right of center, Republicans will pull the lever for their party's candidate.

Democrats are not like that. We have much more diversity in our candidates and our voters.

Which method has been more successful?

Are Democrats really coming together in opposition to the Trump-led Republican party? Do you really see a blue wave for the Fall?

The schisms on the Left will not help us win elections in November.

... VOTE for Democrats.

Like in or not, in the general election we have a binary choice.
