10. we're in the middle of a political campaign and Joe Biden's being accused of shooting Trump

...and that's the least of the republican's charges flying around.

Telling Democratic citizens to 'be careful' about what they believe and relate is just twaddle. We're going to go into the voting booth in November using whatever IMPRESSIONS we have of these two candidates, not relying on an itemized sheet of facts.

Goddamn reporters need be careful.

Democratic voters need to use our imaginations and envision what a dangerous and chaotic country we'll be facing if Trump gets into office again.

There's zero consequence for speaking your mind about Trump here. Take advantage of it. Don't parse yourself. The worst of Trump and republicans has yet to be fully revealed and the worst of what we may imagine about him is very likely true.

Be citizens. Make up your own mind about what you believe. Listen to your fellow Democrats who feel the same.

Don't get bullied into crossing 'I's and dotting our 'T's before expressing what we believe. We're not the press, and we have more of a chance of getting our speculation right than they do with actual facts right in front of them.

Read what she wrote about his gun nut org affiliation. That's not a Democrat.
