I think that you have hit upon the crux of the matter...it is extremely distressing to watch formerly strong democratic principles being abandoned, under the guise of blind party support, required election year fervor, obstruction by stubborn filibuster-threatening republicans, international terrorism, "safety" of our nation, or any of the other 1001 excuses offered for not holding firm to age-old Democratic Party values. Both that pain you've mentioned and that very real fear which we all should recognize and act on, NOW, not after Nov or when power is restored in Congress, are things that I and probably thousands of other party members feel concerned over. Once constructive criticism is ignored and eventually silenced, any organization crumbles and its leaders will also fall.
