I Support Democrats & Members Of Congress Who Caucus With Democrats

It is stupid to put purity tests for our nominees. Why should a progressive Democrat have a different purity test than a moderate Democrat, and vice versa?

I have a purity test for our nominees and only one, who is the best fighter, who is fearless, who seeks out the microphone, who meets with the people, who does town halls.

How about we let the people decide who they want to represent them?

These labels are killing us, we need to stop it. Bernie Sanders and Angus King aren't Democrats, oh dear, maybe we need to primary them. I hope everyone gets what I am saying and I don't need the sarcasm thingy.

and I support anyone who is not on the same side as nazi's and KKK members. If you are a nurse or a school teacher, a union member, a person of color, immigrant, environmentalist and a dem, I'm on your side.

A D after their name is just one piece of evidence in their favor. A D means they don't get automatic disdain.
