The Democratic Party is a big tent. Voters are a diverse bunch, electing a diverse range of candidates. The Democratic Party is the SUM of those who run AND those who vote.

It works in that it fractures focus on serious issues. When Trump supporters are yucking it up over racist videos, they aren't focused on the high price of groceries or healthcare.

Allergic how? The Democratic Party and the candidates elected are the sum of its diverse voters. Some electeds are bold, others not so much.

Hmm, well, voters sinking the U.S. into a dictatorship sure as hell wasn't a step in the right direction. Harris supports a two-state solution.
