7. Sure, whatever.

Give me something to donate WITH, and then we can talk.

Give me something to donate FOR, and the donations will follow.

At some point you are defined by what you stand FOR, not what the other guy stands against. If the only thing we have going for us is that we are not Republicans, then we're fucked. People can vote for a Socialist, or a Green, or a Libertarian...none of them are Republicans either. Those parties can make the SAME claim that Dems can - "We aren't Republicans!"

The point is we won't win JUST by demonizing the other team. All that does is depress people into staying home on election day. We have got to STAND for something. We have got to give America a list of reasons to vote Democratic, even if the Republican party vanishes from the political stage.
