I don't claim to be smarter or better than anyone else. I claim only some skill that allows me.to cut through bullshit and get to the point. Bickering over process weakens us, as the trolls who are here to whip things up know.

We have a great line-up brewing for the Presidential race. That is huge as in Presidential years the top of the ticket often leads to lower ticket wins or losses. Clintons 4+ million votes was big for us. something that is often overlooked.
Find someone you can be for in the primaries. Not just someone you need to be against. Support you local democrats. Even if you know it is a losing proposition. Support the top of the ticket. The national GOTV drives seriously help local candidates. Give the DNC a shot under their still new leadership. They are doing well. Drop a twenty spot or more if you have it.
GOTV. Get it done.
I know this veers a bit away from you op. Just building on it a bit.

(11,746 posts)Yesterday In was called a Russian spy because I advocate strategic use of impeachment. I am a bona fide Democrat and liberal. Calling me a Russian spy serves no good purpose.

(23,384 posts)There were some mistakes in the campaign after the primary, and Comey did us no favors by talking about an ongoing investigation (that went nowhere).
It's hard to figure out who's a Russian spy (or bot). Low post count and recent enrollment won't work since so many were established in 2016. Using the "Carl Rove" theory, I'd suspect that whoever called you a spy is probably a spy. I'd also guess most Russian bots won't have a "star" by their user name.
And, Natasha (also called Komrad Cary), the rooster crows at noon. Pass it on.

(11,746 posts)To this day I have Bernie Sanders' supporters telling me the DNC is corrupt and stole the nomination from Hillary Clinton. This dovetails perfectly into "both sides do it."
You know who started that crap? Ron Paul cultists who, as best as I can tell, morphed easily into Unindicted Co-Conspirator cultists.
