Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWho is calling for a "kinder and gentler" Democratic Party??
Why is he pulling this shit out of his ass and why now?
Playing into the false rightwing meme that "Democrats are weak" is self-serving bullshit in my opinion.

I want experienced, responsible governance.
Mr. Avenatti can go fight somewhere else.

that doesn't mean I want him involved in my politics.
Personality-wise, he's not much above Trump, frankly. I see no evidence of any altruistic motives in Avenatti.

Avenatti is reaching here. He should stick to lawyering.
