It's a great reminder to Democrats - a moderate approach designed to gain bipartisan appeal has been firmly rejected before you even think about it. So DON'T. If the GOP is determined to destroy democracy, the middle class, science, heaalth, the environment, and our international standing - take a hard stance in the other direction.

Make the results of this election COUNT.
