Maybe we should set Democratic lines to run for office.

Since we know that IOKIYAR, let’s not even try to say “what if it was a Republican”.
We know they will go down swinging to defend their own even after all the facts come in on a political scandal.

But, we Dems often jump to a decision on our own even before all the facts come in.
So, let’s do this.
Let’s set up some up some rules for anybody running as a a Democrat from dog catcher to POTUS.

Things that you must never have done.
If found out that you did them, you must resign your office.
Just list them all.
Start with murder and drop down to stealing a pack of gum at age 8. Then, everything in between.
And state if any transgressions have a statute of limitations as to when they were done and the amount of time passing before they were discovered (generally by right wing media outlets).

This way we will have a whole lot less people running for office.
But, our party will be more pure and so will our officeholders.

1. Maybe when we see that someone high up in the Democratic

party was sportin' kkk hood and robes at some point in his life - for ANY reason - we ought to take that shit really, really seriously if we don't want to lose our souls along with half our base.
