I see nothing wrong with encouraging Dems to be tougher [View all]

We should use our voices to make our needs/expectations known. Polling shows the public agrees with us. I think it's a red herring to say that because some voters at some time refused to vote for Dems for some reason we have to stay silent.

We are Democrats, not Republican cultists. We're smart and able to walk and chew gum at the same time. We can make our demands known forcefully, but when the time comes vote for the best candidate. At least, I know I can.
