"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

I have heard that there is (was?) a tremendous amount of mutual respect between them. Hopefully this will be the basis of a genuinely fierce effort to bring ALL Democrats and everyone else with more than two brain cells into the FIGHT OF OUR LIVES against TRUMP!

And hasn't for some time now. So this is definitely for the best. The problem we face, and have for some time, is getting people to understand the importance of turning out for down-ballot races. Wisconsin can be traced back directly to lack of turnout in 2010... as can many gerrymandered congressional districts and corrupt right wing judges. They get their foot in the door and immediately destroy mechanisms for ousting them.
