And I disagree that there is an 'intra party' war in the Democratic Party.

Do we have interlopers? Sure we do.

But I'm the 'base' - black pragmatic woman. We always show up - IF you are reasonable enough and pragmatic enough.

We aren't 'radical' - we've been here for 50 years and are demanding reward for our loyalty.

The Democratic Party cannot win without us.

I also think your theory lets' white supremacists and their benefactors off the hook. The TEA Party came into being because a black man became the President. He made fun of DJT. DJT took it out on all of us. Then brainwashed his cult into violence.

The GOP isn't in an internal fight - they have conceded to the White Supremacists and nut jobs.
