We simply don't have the luxury my fellow Dems....

7. Are we really fighting amongst ourselves though?

I keep seeing people who are attacking the Democratic party who don't seem to be a part of it.

This is external division from someone who refuses to join the party and his followers, who are not part of the party.

Why do we need to "unite" with unreliable allies who keep attacking us from outside?

Democrats, progressives and liberals are united, these disaffected voices who seem to be all about disruption are not on our side. They're too busy attacking us, distracting us, denigrating us, to help us in the fight. They're only too happy to take credit for our hard work though.

Ignore them, stop elevating the people who keep attacking our candidates while promoting extreme right wingers, there are several who masquerade as Democrats, but are not.

The fervent anti-choicers are among them, people like Sheriff Clarke deserve to be called out for what they are. They are not progressive in the least, and it's a joke that a purist would be conferring that title upon them as if he has ownership of the term or the ideology.

The actual party and actual progressives are not divided, we're very united about the basic core principles of our party and platform.
