But if we want any chance of taking back the house and senate we have to accept some dems aren't gonna be flying a ultra liberal flag some are gonna be more moderate or conservative just because of the areas they represent. Having lived in texas before there are democrats that dont support the idea of sanctuary cities and we have to accept that. Personally id rather win with imperfect candidates than lose with perfect ones
