Yesterday

MANY of my liberal friends did not want to vote for Gore and did not… even after many arguments for the court. SAME SHIT with the “I just don’t like her” crowd and Hillary.

We self sabotaged both times because of the “I want something else” crowd.

the SCOTUS was not enough reason.

Has the party learned that lesson?
Party unity is the number one consideration in a Presidential election. You can’t win without it. That is my point.
