9/11 should remind Democrats that American Unity should come before Partisan Politics: Obama tried to steer politics in a better direction to appeal to that patriotism but both parties failed to follow. jimmcbridefordnc.substack.com/p/911-should...

In Maine & Washington, DC, primary candidates running for the same office are getting along. Many have even endorsed each other. Why? Ranked choice voting. #RankedChoiceVoting flips the incentives of our elections, rewarding positive campaigns instead of toxic attacks.

If you grade dems by cherry picking who supports certain decisions instead of substance of decisions maybe you are not qualified to comment. Dems in GA rammed through failed legislation like a casino that fairfax didnt want and the referendum but fortunately we have an adult in Governor's mansion.
