Burning early in the morning...

I dunno if this is where this goes or not. If not, pardon me and if I need to move it, I will.

I just heard Michael Bennett on MSNBC and I could have thrown something at the TV while he was talking. He came out flat out and said he thought with the way the "polls" are going the trajectory is for trump to win and win by a landslide. Grrrrrr!!!!

This is a democrat who's hurting our party AND our country, AFAIC. If can't get his support behind the president, then he should keep his mouth off the public air waves. He's not only trying to set up a self-fulfilling prophecy, IMO, but he's helping trump and repugs lay the ground work for numerous legal disputes, arguments, civil disobedience and violence, and pushing for SCOTUS to do what they did for GW Bush.

I don't know who this rep is, or where he's from. I'm represented by R's, except for one D. But this one should have some push-back via donation short-falls or pushing for democratic alternatives to his seat, if that's possible at this point. Maybe it's not; maybe they've already had their primary and that's why he feels so free to diss our president like this.

I just see his words as dividing us and helping the repubs now, at the election, and then, especially AFTER the election. If we don't get our crap together and start acting like a damned unified party, we're going to lose our country and democracy. And these reps are going to carry a lot of the blame -- which they no doubt will be passing on to Biden. For once, Democrats in Disarray is being helped overwhelming by democrats -- no republicans necessary.

He lost his last election attempt. He should get involved with an organization that does something good.
