If you're giving up because we aren't all holding hands, singing Kumbaya and acting in unison then you're just giving up on reality. We are a diverse country, a diverse people, with a diverse spectrum of beliefs and opinions. And we, the Democratic party, are the party of diversity among the diverse. But we can and do work together. Don't believe the lie that we don't or can't. That's spin, and it ignores the evidence to the contrary.

The bit about "allegiance to former counties" is also a load of horseshit. For every person you can point to that feels that way, I can point to a thousand immigrant families that prove that to be a racist lie. Don't repeat that spin, either.

Most of us will survive whatever happens, and it won't be any more or less important than any of the other monumental events humanity has survived. Don't lose hope right before you get to be part of it.
