This is the perception of the Democratic Party among many; these are all from mainstream publications and newspapers.

You don't think we have a bit of an image problem?

I want us to fight, but together, and against a common enemy. Is that asking too much? Are there any beliefs too extreme for inclusion in the tent of the Democratic Party? Why shouldn't we present a single unified popular front for the Democratic Party and all of its candidates? Is it really too much to try and stop the backbiting?
