Zero benefit to airing this bullshit in public. Both the center and the left needs to shut the fuck up with the nitpicking, why give the media more material to hit us with? Focus on the damn Republicans.

Downside of the big tent and not being authoritarians I guess. But just ONCE in my lifetime, it'd be a fun change of pace for Dems to all be on the same damn page.
