(27,835 posts)... but it will never fly.
There are those here who have a vested interest in being divisive, pitting one Dem against the other while playing "let's you and him fight".
They are not interested in unity among Democrats; it does not serve their purpose. They are not interested in any Republican wrongdoing; it does not serve their agenda.
They post every anti-Dem article, statement, or soundbyte they can find - regardless of source, or the credibility of thereof. Any Democrat who is now, or ever was, held up by DUers as a shining example of upholding Party principles is promptly thrown under the bus. (Howard Dean and Warren Buffett being among this week's casualties.)
They encourage infighting. They promote the idea that the centrists hate the liberals, the moderates hate the progressives, the HRC supporters hate the Warren supporters, the Obama supporters are mindless cheerleaders, and the Sanders supporters are simply insane. They play whatever role necessary to keep Democrats at each other's throats.
And they are extremely effective. They know the buzz words that ignite flamewars: corporatist, water-carrier for the 1%, the looney left, centrist, progressive extremist, DINO, conservaDem, Hillary hater, Warren hater, Sanders hater.
The sad part is how many DUers willingly take the bait, how many are willing to see their fellow Party members as the enemy, how many are willing to be misled by RW talking points posted under the guise of "a concerned Democrat" merely pointing out how we (D)s no longer have common goals, how disunited we really are - if only we'd wake up, connect the dots, and realize how votes don't matter, how the PTB are running the show, how both parties are the same.
The "flinging of crap" at one another will continue unabated - because that's the way the Dems-Flinging-Crap- at-Each-Other Society who are allowed to post here want it.
