It’s like the human race is going white-right-wing insane: Russia, Poland, Hungary, Italy, France, Brazil, etc. ON EDIT: Forgot to include the good old USA on the list.

Basically everywhere Steve Bannon has lugged his toxic carcass and spread his anti-democracy shit.

Bannon is BIG behind this entire global shitstorm. Hope that Muller (or someone) has a mile-long list of HIGH crimes on that nihilistic bastard.

how many people will fall for that - even here on Dem Underground. I've seen some signs that this is happening here already for some potential Dem candidates.

We should pledge to let the primary process run it's course and we get 100% behind whomever wins the momination.

But the same people voted for a mean orange clown character, guess it's no surprise

Sadly I expect no better of anyone motivated by a troll-driven agenda. But I fully expect DU will handle it with aplomb

I think the best response is to just keep pushing forward and ignore them. They are selling the politics of hatred and they will lose on that in 2020. Trump in '16 was an anomally. Not that we can let our gaurd down. Trump could well be re-elected if we don't get and keep our selfs concentrated on the outcome.

Whomever the Democratic contenders are we need to stand behind them.

Warren - 1/20th.

And this is from one guy who lost his job and is on Social Security and other public assistance. I responded that Warren was fighting for people who were in bad economic conditions. He responded with another stupid meme.

We need to keep our eyes on the ball, and make note of irrelevant arguments that do not serve the purpose of uniting us behind a candidate who can win in 2020.

They're obviously stupid or Russian, if they think being a woman is an argument against someone being a candidate. That's a PLUS these days. So that's a giveaway.

I happen not to care for Elizabeth Warren as a candidate. I just have never liked her much. I also think that likability is very important in a candidate. But let's see who all is running. She may not run, or she may run and do great in the debates. If she ends up being the candidate, I CERTAINLY will support her and vote for her.

Keep our eyes on the ball! Every demographic of the Democratic Party voted for Bill Clinton (twice), Obama (twice), and Hillary Clinton. We will do that in 2020, too. With the largest turnout ever, probably.
