(35,176 posts)We have people here where I live working together who actually loathe each other but with them working together we made a huge difference last election. A party is made up of people, it is not a friend or a foe it is a group of people working for a similar if not the same end. There is no need for an emotional label. How about this, it is a title for us and an identification for us but no, we do not get white hats and the other guys black hats.
I said nothing of Ms. Wong. Blithe dismissal? Why are you so intent on putting emotion in all of this? It actually made me laugh because I was only replying to you. There is no need for vinegar or honey here I was making a statement without emotion to YOU.
Ms. Wong can say whatever she wants. I neither have to agree or disagree, I might but that is my business. I do what I do and move along. This constant "my team" crap gets in the way. We are liberals, some Democrats others just liberals. If we want change we have to learn to work with other liberals and find consensus there so we can fight the Right. That is often hard to do and that is when emotions run high but the party as a whole is made up of so many people who you might say are friends or enemies but as a whole it is a very large working group running the gamut of Democratic thought and policy.
I am done now, you can reply but I am done. This crap gets in the way of forward movement. We have a lot of work to do and if we have to react to every little thing that someone says (yes I did just do that too) we will lose again. Let people be who they are and work around them or through them or even find a place you might agree and work with them. NOBODY will ever agree with you all the time, you better get used to taking that like a big kid without dismissing so many people who are actually friends most of the time. Ms. Wong I know nothing about so please...I am not supporting her here.
