There are all manner of nasty sonsabitches---I repeat: NASTY SONSABITCHES!---whose sole purpose in life right now is to spread as much chaos and confusion as possible among members of any group that just might not vote for Emperor Trump.
They lie. They exaggerate. They slander. And, they do all this while "camoflaged" as a public interest PAC, a red white and blue patriotic group or just some "concerned citizen". Often, the public interest PAC is a "front" for a handful of wingnuts funded by a billionaire; the patriotic group is simply posting propaganda from Moscow; and, the "concerned citizen" is either a domestic neo-nazi or a Russian troll-bot.
So---I know it is a simplistic and perhaps unprecedented request but, for the time being, can we cut EVERY Democrat some slack? Can we just give each of them the benefit of the doubt?
No matter who is your favorite among the leading contenders, there are currently ridiculous lies being seeded into the public discourse about them.
We are fortunate to have numerous outstanding people seeking the Democratic presidential nomination. Each has their strengths and weaknesses, but these are GOOD PEOPLE---far superior to the cheap vulgar thug now squatting in the White House! So could we please just tell the goddam 24 hour news cycle talkers to STUFF all this "OMG! BREAKING NEWS! DEMS ARE HOPELESSLY FRACTURED" bullshit?
This is a "Not Trump!" election. REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!
