A New Hampshire Democrat has announced his plan to explore a run for governor on the unity platform. Who can’t wait to see how that looks? Anything like Biden’s “unity”? That might be a great question for some reporter to ask him.
Dr. Tom Sherman is a New Hampshire State Senator from Rye, and he’d be challenging sitting three-term incumbent Republican Chris Sununu.
Today, I’m taking the first step towards running for Governor. We must unite our state, end the divisiveness, and heal from the last few years. I look forward to talking with folks all across the state over the next few weeks. #NHPolitics https://t.co/giUuqlGGoo

It will be interesting to see how he defines divisiveness and how he frames its opposite. Any reference to identity groups would blow a hole in his hopey-changey balloon. Chit chat about parents having the right not to mask or vaccinate their kids. Not just support for a curriculum that frames white children as racist supremacists but failing to step in and end it.
His stance on policing and the rule of law.
And true liberty requires the ability to disagree with enthusiasm. Anything worth thinking or talking about can result in disagreement. We need our speech to be free, or we can’t begin to have those conversations. Offending people is inevitable. What’s divisive is shutting one side or the other off.
Most Democrats can’t get past go in their own party primary opposing divisiveness in practice.
And finally, as one observer noted to me, “Tom Sherman used the word “folks” in his announcement that he is running for governor instead of the correct word to make it inclusive of marginalized people “folx.” He is already outing himself as a white supremacist.”
That’s your team’s book of rules, Tom. We can’t get rid of divisiveness if you plan to use that.
Sorry, one more. How long will it take before some leftist argues that talking about divisiveness means is divisive?
