It's Time For Coalition Building... |

The evidence is in. Many Republican leaders & countless R voters are have finally had enough. This admin has alienated all but the most intractable of its base.
Please -- let's do the (small "d") democratic thing. Let's reach across the aisle on every level.
America, as we know it, is at its greatest risk since its founding; countless Republicans get this too.
Many Conservatives have demonstrated extraordinary organizational skills in getting this admin in power. Now they're disappointed -- this is not a Conservative admin.
What Democrat has a basic problem with a Republican who disagrees with what's going on in D.C. (and vise versa).
For both parties -- where is the wisdom in not combining forces?

...(as you clearly understand) There is way too much at stake here for the old hackneyed Left vs Right dynamic to hold sway today.
Unlike the idiom -- "The enemy of my enemy is my friend"...
By creating a bridge to the understandably disenfranchized Right -- we can give them more power to speak now.

4. The problem is - who is working for us, the US, and the Constitution? |

Neither party is for We the People. Both parties are for corporations. We the People have to take back our government. We the People working together would be great. Democrats working with repubs would do some good, but not much.
