    I don’t want people who will cross the aisle. I want people who will treat the fascists like the existential threat they are.

        I agree everyone on the left should be working together, but that’s not what “crossing the aisle” means.

          Well you guys can keep demonizing the whole entire republican party, and then make plans for the 78 Million trump voters and 30 million trump die hards. I still believe that there is a breaking point where republican congress people can be convinced by their local populations to do the right thing and impeach trump and purge MAGA from government. We only need to focus on a couple dozen districts. We don’t need to organize 30 million protestors, we need to organize about 10 million in the right districts. I don’t care if the people carry them out of office by force, but i me protesting in a democratic district does nothing to remove that southern congressman who’s in violation of his oath.

          Crossing the aisle means getting biparsan votes to do the right thing and govern with integrity.
