1. Herding cats is easier than herding Democratic electeds.

Tragic, but true.

If, given the magnitude of the crisis we face, Democratic members of the House and Senate can't even coordinate to sign onto and release a joint Declaration listing Trump's abuses and usurpations and stating their commitment to a set of shared values... how the hell can they expect anyone to believe they can stand together to right those wrongs and enact the sort of transformative reform that we should have achieved decades ago?

We may be a diverse mess as a party, but I'll take that over the unified dittoheads (now trumpublicans).
