The Democratic Party is going to tear itself to shreds this year over who gets to be the 2020 nominee.
It's already started.
As a Democrat, I want no part of it.
I'll always vote Democratic—but will keep my preferences to myself and attack no candidate in the Democratic field.

2/ This rule doesn't any to anyone with progressive leanings who runs as an independent. We're in the midst of a national emergency, and anyone who tries to divide Democrats—from outside the party *or* inside it—has put their petty crap over America and I will never condone that.
3/ 2016 was a lesson for a great many of us, myself included: anything but a unified front in the face of a monster is a disaster. I hope this time we can all, myself included, find a way to support whoever we support in a way that risks no damage to the effort to unseat Trump.
4/ I believe that if a large number of Democrats spar verbally but with dignity for 18 months, a strong candidate who's weathered the storm and will be capable of weathering more will emerge. Only a dire fracturing of the *spirit* of progressivism and decency can save Trump. /end
