Democratic opportunity , let's not blow it

I am pretty sick and tired of "establishment" Democrats nervously tittling about Graham Platner, the presumptive nominee in a Senate race we simply have to win. It reminds me of the way Centrist Democrats would always undermine Bernie Sanders with doom and gloom prognostications, when the actual numbers were quite different. And the hypocrisy of criticizing someone's hyberbolic youthful indiscretions when the alternative, people like Chuck Schumer who opposed the JCPOA (rememeber that?), has always deferred to AIPAC, and sold out to Trump on the first shutdown ... (I could go on and on)... are far less representative of what potential Democratic voters actually want and expect from government. 

We Democrats need to be a big tent, sure, but we need to stop shooting at our own best candidates, focus on what's important, which is winning control, and actually stand for what the American people want. Across the board, our so called leaders fall short, and it's people like Platner who speak plainly and will act accordingly. 

Look, folks. The very continued existence of our democracy is at stake, and we must pull together, pass the torch, nominate and elect new faces with new ideas, and be prepared to commence the gargantuan task of repairing all the damage that's been done, and in the process correct the myriad systematic problems underlying our current state of affairs. Oh, is that all? Yep, that's about it. We may only really get one shot at this, but this is our opportunity, and if we fail to take it quibbling with our own, we are fools.
