4. "We need to support Democrats. We just do."

Correct.

And the lie that Democrats ‘aren’t doing anything’ is just that: a lie.

This is the consequence of being voted out of power – to be separated from the mechanics of governance, devoid of the authority to take political action.

The attacks on Democratic leaders and elected officials needs to stop – it’s ignorant and ridiculous.
