As soon as I posted Biden-Cheney as an example, I knew it was a stupid example. For starters, I do not believe Pres Biden will run in 2024. And, Cheney is really not in my wheelhouse of policy.

However, what I do recognize is that many Pubsters I speak with that are seriously opposed to the Trump party….it’s like a whole diff convo than before the madness. We agree on so many more things than we have in the past. I think “labels” have encouraged too many tight corners. I agree about careful thought but somehow “combining forces” for good keeps me up some nights thinking.

I asked a few good friends if they would consider becoming a Democrats. They replied, “But I’m not. I think all I can do at this point is change my registration to NPA or seriously start playing in the playground with Dems and Repubs joining forces against the MAGA a**holes.”

I know there is a way we can do this. Labels should not make us slaves to bullsh*t.

Especially to any allegiance fomented by the “Corporate States of Amerika”.

Oh yes, TC. I forget to add the most interesting thing. I mentioned how convos this year have changed as I notice more agreement during debate. I pointed this out a few times to “friend opponents” noting we didn’t argue about things as much anymore. Why is that, I’ve asked. More than one has lamented, “Christine, Republicans do not have policies anymore so I might as well agree with some of yours, damnit.” Hahahahahahahaha. Something to note. Messaging will be important. Our policies must have something for all.
