(4,377 posts)People who genuinely have the interests of a better party and America in mind are not afraid to constructively criticize when necessary and certainly don't end up hero worshipping individual politicians to the detriment of the wider party.
This current attempt to cajole, shame and bully people into agreeing with one particular view of where the party should be heading is frankly despicable, and worse its being done using Trump as cover. Apparently if we disagree with you we're helping Trump and we should be exiled.
This is how we ended up in the current mess in the first place, years of people being told their voices in the party don't matter, years of any opposing views being denigrated and trashed, and the worst part is that now when the GOP own it all, you still can't see the error of your ways.
There are people here that care more about getting an apology from Sarandon supporters than they do about organizing to fight back against the GOP. There are people here that post more vitriol about Bernie Sanders than they do about the right wing scum trying to destroy the country.
The ONLY thing that matters now is beating the GOP, and we don't do that unless this stupid clique-like behavior ends now. We have to start to listen when people speak instead of assuming they're wrong because they have a different perspective. If not, we'll all be back here in November 2020 crying and wailing about how we don't understand why we lost again.
