The Democratic Party can compromise on principles to win but it cannot be a cult [View all]

I, and many Democrats have always stated that party purism does not work. Brooklyn and rural Alabama requires different democrats.

However, what we cannot have is a fucking cult. So we cannot hear for months on end to end centrist democrats like Joe Manchin (who by the way votes with democrats 80% of the time ),but on the other hand champion Heath Mello, because one of them is supported by sanders and the other is not.

That is not sustainable, that is the building of a cult. A cult where someone is acceptable if sanders endorses but not if he doesn't.

For months we got lectured that democrats were too centrist, only to be told now that centrism is needed in some districts, and nothing changed barring the endorsement of sanders.

This argument lacks any kind of internal consistency and coherence and is not building a party, but seems to be building a cult where the say so of one man makes things go from unacceptable to completely necessary.
