If Democrats Want To Win They Should Listen To People Who Actually Want To Help Them

I should start this column by making one thing very clear: I am a Democrat. I have been a Democrat my entire political life. I want Democrats to win elections, take back the government, and implement good ideas. Therefore listening to someone like me makes sense. I want to fix the party and have them win more than anything because if Democrats win I win.

However, as a loyal Democrat, I must say that I don't trust Republicans. That should be obvious, but Democrats don't seem to agree with me. Considering they seem to be scared of people like "socialist" Alexandra Ocasio Cortez or "comrade" Bernie Sanders. Despite the fact basically, no communists actually support Sanders or Cortez. 

Now allow me to give you a hypothetical. Imagine if I wrote in 2010 a column called "I Ain't Entirely Sure About This Tea Party Thing". After the 2010 midterms, when due to the Tea Party Republicans won 63 House seats and 6 Senate seats, I would have looked ridiculous. OR I would have done this on purpose because I don't want Republicans to win. 

This is why I think CBS published a column comparing Cortez to Sarah Palin. This was written by Micheal Graham. A radio host who is a self-described conservative. Who wants to bet he voted for Palin?

Look, maybe we shouldn't go towards the populist left wing. However, the person who tells us that shouldn't be a conservative. It should be us, fellow Democrats. I don't think that's too much to ask for.
