Given that this is a forum for Democrats, I'm all for getting rid of anyone who is not for

328. frankly, those who want purges

are the first that should be purged.

And yes, I am fully aware that many people from many sides have called for blood. I have seen some that are on the farther left call for it, and I damned well have seen the DLC right wing of the party call for it. Both want to destroy the idea of the "big tent." Both speak as if we ditched the other, we could finally be that party we used to be (back in what Tariq Ali would call "the time that thankfully, never was.) I could post a bunch of blue links, but that has and of itself become hated around here.

And yes, I am fully aware that there are paid operatives whose main job is to pretend to be liberal online and stir the shit. These are the folks that get tombstoned than brag about it on the right wing sites, making fun of us for the fact we gave them so much benefit of the doubt.

With that being said, the minute we start attacking each other, we fall right into the plan our enemies want. There is only so much harm an outside enemy can do. Let's be honest, if the GOP did not have the consensus making (which is to say, brain melting) forces of Television ads, false "news", and Churches, they would have fallen into the sea a long time ago. Even now they are at each other's throats, but they stop just long enough to slash at ours.

What we need to do is form consensus on what we are, and those that cannot do so can indeed be told they will lose our support. But that does not mean we do an active PURGE. That does not mean we lash out at each OTHER.
