where issues are discussed. If you did, you would recognize that "politically liberal" Democrats often disagree. It's only the "In crowd" as you call them that all seem to defend the President and never discuss other issues. Never discuss the TPP, the XL Pipeline, fracking, in fact here's a list. Look for yourself.

You wont see any of the "IN crowd" in these discussions or any discussions that arent following WH talking points.

The "IN crowd" is here for one purpose, to support the President, right or wrong, and ridicule anyone that doesnt toe the line.
