71. Those who object to TLP don't 'get' what they're about. They're reformers

who agree with us on a foundational level (democracy, voting, the rule of law, etc) while disagreeing on policy issues.

Throughout history people who have had ideological or policy differences - when faced with the threat of fascism or authoritarianism - have put their differences aside to fight for the greater good - and that's what TLP is about. They stated they would've even supported Sanders if he was our nominee, who has wide policy differences with TLP but who believes in democracy and the rule of law as they do, and they will continue to support Dems until Trumpism and the GOP who enabled him is destroyed.
