We live in a two-party system. It's pretty important that the democratic party be effective and successful. Trying to ensure that nobody ever speak anything remotely negative about it is not, in my opinion, the way to make it stronger.

I just don't agree that "any negative comment can work against the party AT this TIME in our history, and will."
