Anyone who thinks they can shove others out of the way, others who have done the work through thick and thin, does deserve ridicule.
I am through coddling the far left. I think many of them are no better than the tea party on the right. What are you going to do if I laugh at your disruptive and naive behavior? Go way and vote for republicans or fringe candidates? Is that what you will do? I don't think there are that many of you to begin with. I see more of you on internet sites than I do working out in the trenches.
Again, I emphasize the respect I see for this newly elected man. If you do truly question everything, question the behavior of the far left, and ask just WTF they are trying to accomplish by repudiating those who have kept the lights burning, who have raised money and GOTV for years. Question why the far left cannot even allow us one day to enjoy the victories of Tuesday, why they have to criticize incumbents who have worked hard. It is up to you to work with us, not the other way around.
BTW, I used to consider myself far left. Not any more. Not if the behavior I have seen recently is any example.
Did we win without the far left? I don't even know what the hell the far left is any more. Everyone seems to have their own definition. I know I am a Democrat and a liberal. I vote for Democrats and work for them.
Again, I tip my hat to this newly elected Democrat who understands that we are a big tent.
