When faced with an existential threat, the lower nature is to act in superficial self interest. A person reacting on the higher, ethical and moral nature, will unite with others for survival. We are facing an existential threat in the state of North Carolina with voter suppression, gerrymandering, and other political, dirty tricks. It is essential that democrats stick together and pursue strategic wins. There must be accountability for sabotaging those strategic wins.
Any political candidate who is not an independent should understand that they are nothing more than a small part of a much larger umbrella. I appreciate what both Anderson and Hogg are doing. I left the Dem party last year because of the lack of leadership and unity against the felon's party of hatred and vileness. There is no more politics as "usual".
When you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten. And the state party seems to have finally found leadership that understands that. Like it or don’t, but if Dems ever want to find their way out of the wilderness they’re gonna have to start all pulling the same rope. And that means using every tool in the box, and not being afraid to throw what isn’t working over the side.
And for those who haven’t noticed, the last 15 years? Not working.
I don't like it. I was a county chair for 6 years and the LAST thing I would do is pick a side in a Democratic primary. When party leadership starts playing favorites with such a heavy hand, divisiveness is sure to follow. David Hogg was wrong to play favorites as a Party officer and so is Clayton.
The tailored approach is right. Good for you, Clayton!
Let's start with Reps Carla Cunningham and Nasif Majeed. It is time for these two to reconsider their allegiance to the Democratic Part.

Exactly! It takes a team to beat a team.

You go, Anderson! What’s the sense of having a Party if not to stick - and especially vote - together when it really matters?

Excellent piece! I am with her.

This is the Thomas we love!
Good for Anderson!
