reluctance to embrace a single “common ground” with quasi “friends” as “petty”. I believe the likes of Senator Fetterman, Manchin, and other betrayals to the very core principles of Democratic ideals-I do not view lightly. Principles mean just that. I would certainly engage constructively with any, sincere, rehabilitated repub maga who is dedicated to my ideals for a progressive America, but only if their “common ground” extended productively toward justice for all, economic equity, respect for our Constitution, environment, corporate responsibility, etc.

I know that I need not alter my principles while encouraging justice for the victims recognizing the powerful players who inflicted their agony.
