I have seen some really shitty stuff from them lately. Pitting the "left" against Democrats on a regular basis. It's what they do. It's directed at LIV's.

This author is passionate about getting us to fight.

The Win-or-Lose Case for Challenging Dianne Feinstein

Ralph Northam Is Taking on Betsy DeVos—by Breaking With Barack Obama(He can't even just take on DeVos. It has to be at the opposition of Obama. A non-office holder)

The Impeachment Litmus Test Is Dividing Democrats

Biden Wants “Compromise.” Progressives Don’t Want to Hear It.

The Democrats Are Taking Black Women for Granted

What Do Centrist Democrats Even Stand For?

Massachusetts Is Ground Zero in the Battle for the Soul of the Democratic Party

All from the same author. Bro's are such easy marks.
