United we stand, divided we fall.
Exactly! That's why it's so important to stand against those who denigrate the Democratic party with lies and smears.
We can remain united when people refrain from telling lies that Democrats are "ideologically bankrupt". We are strong when we stand up against the lies that Democrats are "feeble" or that that Democrats are "corrupt". At every turn, we must always confront and refute the lie that the Democratic party is "the party of the one-percent" or that the Democratic party is the "party of the elite".
There should be absolutely NO disagreement when it comes to calling out the LIE that there's "no difference between Democrats and Republicans," or the other LIE that Democrats are "do-nothings".
We can make a difference whenever Democrats stand up and fight back against those who tell LIES about how the Democratic party "doesn't care about climate change." It serves no good purpose for anyone to spread these types of lies.
When those types of denigrating and divisive lies remain unchecked and unchallenged, then that's when the division starts. That's when people start to question the intentions and motives of others.
All I'm trying to say is that a divided and suspicious and distrusting Democratic party is one that is weakened... and that only benefits the GOP (which benefits Russia.)

Bernie did an outstanding job rebutting the Liar-in-Chief's mis-State of the Union address.

Yeah, I think it was pretty damn righteous. Too bad we can't hear other opinions

Bernie's speech didn't compete with Stacey Abrams speech, it was aired after hers.
