(12,151 posts)The pure pig-headed arrogance of the "No, really. You have to shut up because you're hurting the gameplan," coming from the exact people who said Obama was too liberal to be elected.
We get it. Everyone thinks their vision of the Democratic Party is the right one, and the key to success.
Between Obama and Hillary, the left was right, and the right was wrong. Hardly for the first time, either.
But for some reason it's only conservatives, of any stripe, who like to cast whomever they disagree with as traitors and spies, oh my.
And somehow also naive. Not sure how that one works. Naive traitorous spies, whose very thoughts and opinions lose elections, who must be silent during election seasons. And campaign seasons. And the seasons leading up to election seasons and campaign seasons.
So to recap, the bulletproof "ratfucking" argument is that liberals in America's more liberal party, must shut up and stop "depressing the turnout" with their unworkable liberal views, which are also traitorous and very much like Nixon somehow, so that liberalism can WIN.
