1. Unlike today's GOP, our party's capable of diverse views - and of bringing them together

Theirs, anything but - as anyone who even meekly suggests anything other than fascist goose-stepping, billionaire worship, and (for now) Cheeto worship, has learned.

2. We do have that advantage, which needs to be brought to national attention

As opposed to the Republican obsession with a disgraced twice impeached former president! That is, quite literally, all they've got - or do!

3. My hope, is that independent/swing voters see it PRECISELY that way

Their childish obsessions - besides being pathetic and dangerous - are also the GOP's most glaring liability.

It completely destroys their long and carefully-cultivated image as "the more adult party."

This from people who smear poop on walls when elections don't go their way, and then sit there clutching assault weapons like a pacifier.

4. Well said.

And I know all about "free speech," but there needs to be a limit on provable lies! We not only have the Republicans in Congress lying to their constituents, but there's FOX "News," Alex Jones, Steve Bannon - the latter two who are or could be headed for prison!

5. Thanks

It is what it is.

6. Wouldn't it be lovely if Alex Jones and Steve Bannon had to share a jail cell?

The possibility makes me giddy.

7. LOL! I don't know which one we should feel more sorry for!

Can you imagine being locked up with either one of them?!
