Democrats are the bigger half of the American voting population but we divide ourselves into subgroups that all think they are more deserving than any of the other groups and withhold their vote unless they think Democratic leaders are working harder for expressly for them. They don't have magic wands!
Subgroups need to unite and pull together for a Democratic win. Be Democratic Americans united.
And for all our sake's, read up and stay informed !
Exercise your BS detectors.
If you don' t, you are the problem.
