Time to cut the crap. Obama Derangement Syndrome doesn't really exist.

318. O.K., whatever. I don't mind disagreeing with the president on policy decisions

he has made. Sigh (I'm fucking sick of saying this shit over and over again; I shouldn't have to). It's not the point. The problem is not allowing for a fluidity of different opinions and thoughts. That "contingent" should have done its research and should have known that the president wasn't some liberal purist. I blame them for that. But here on DU, it should also be accepted that there is a variety of opinion--not all of us are 100% ideologues, so of course, we'll have our arguments. I just simply do not see the fight against the Republicans as much as I see us attacking our own. That's all. I don't see the passion on our side in terms of standing against the people who are really destroying this country and they are the Republicans, not the Democrats. Yes, there are really bad apples in the Democratic Party. The corporatists, the "Third Wayers," the cowards. I get it. Yes, there are those in the party who have done such a disservice to it. Sure. But, by and large, we are STILL Democrats. And we still support this party. It simply does us no good to bash Democrats day in and day out. It is demoralizing and off-putting. We should challenge our leaders to do better. That's fine. But that's not what I see here on a daily basis. I see bashing. I see sick ad hominem attacks and childish name calling. And yes, some of that I've been guilty of in the heat of whem embroiled in the heat of silly arguments. I guess I'm just tired. If we're going to unite as a party, I think it's time to do that now. We have a pivotal, very critical election coming up next year. Again, either we are going to unite or we'll just let the Republicans have everything and stomp off, sulking into the night.

It's our choice.
