Unless it's now "ideological" to say that it's a bad thing to go to other countries and kill people there.
I express my party loyalty by opposing things that are bad for the party-like the permanent war economy.
It's about making the party stronger and better by freeing it from bad things.
If this was 1860, would you argue that I was being disloyal to the party if I opposed slavery, the defense of which had "always been Democratic policy" until then?
If this was 1935, would you argue that I was being disloyal to the party in backing the Wagner Act, when opposition to the labor movement in any but its most timid and neutered forms had "always been Democratic policy" until then?
If this was 1964, would you argue that I was being disloyal to the party if I supported the seating of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party against LBJ's pointless insistence on seating the segregationist and pro-KKK regular Mississippi delegation?
And weren't you being disloyal to things that had "been Democratic policy" for over seventy-five years when you supported the anti-labor, anti-black, anti-poor and anti-activist Democratic Leadership Council in its project of turning the Democrats into a "centrist"
