(9,940 posts)What is a "Democrat"? Just someone with a "D" after their name? The voting habits and perspective of a Democrat in CA or WA is very different than one from a purple district in OH or TX (or even a Dem from eastern Washington). There are Dems that have voted more with republicans than Dems. They won their reelection on that voting record.
Having a "D" after your name doesn't make you a Democrat, that person's actions on Democratic ideals and principles do.
Im looking to win on our our ideals and principles, as long as they caucus with Democrats (as Sanders has for over 20 years) the letter after the name is small price to pay. It would be nice to have a "D" but I'll take anybody willing to work to defeat republicans and more importantly their agenda.
As I say:
Trump is a narcissistic, racist, bigoted and xenophobic fascist. We are either united in our fight against his agenda or we will all become a victim of it.
