A Open Letter To Croton Democrats

Most would agree that high amongst Croton's strongest assets has been its inclusiveness. While we all have our own individual bones to pick, we are united by a transcendant sense of community, tolerence and  caring. Put differently, our shared concerns are far greater than our differences. This election has been especially challenging for democrats who are suffering from what someone wisely called an embarassment of riches, that is, two extraordinarily talented leaders, a woman and a black man emerging at the same time. Electoral Politics is by design a zero sum game,and regretably there can be no winner unless there is a loser. 

Clearly, the gallant loser in this historic primary understandably enjoys tremendous support in this region, as well she should.  It appears, however, a sizable contingent of our Democratic stalwarts, historically Hillary supporters, seem to be sitting the presidential election out in the aftermath of a brutal primary. They are falling prey to the classic GOP divide and conquer politics. By contrast the contemporary Republicans would rally behind a rattlesnake as long as it long as at could shake to their reactionary beat. 

If we "Dems"do not find it within ourselves to put aside internecine squabbling  and "unite the party" we will increasingly  find ourselves in the midst of a warmongering McCarthyesque scenario, facing an eviscerated Supreme Court put in place by incompetent opponents that we allowed to steal yet another election.

Think about it!!
