You are witnessing the first "Stochastic Smearjob"

125. And pinning simplistic tags on everything doesn't advance your position.

It was a tough slog to wade through all the pejorative smears and antagonistic labels you attached to everything you disagree with. Honestly, I just don’t get this fixation with the petty marques of ideological tribalism. Here's the thing, while you're occupied in waxing on the snark, the idea that Democrats must follow only a prescribed set of political doctrines to be considered pure enough to be the legitimate heirs to the party, is in itself, inherently undemocratic.

The problem is not the wildly variant views we hold under the Democratic banner, but those bombastic demagogues (hey, there's a label for you!) who are pounding away in self-righteous indignation and trying to convince everyone that only those who oppose HRC are authentic enough to wear the badge of a true Democrat. The basic concept of any democracy is determined by the sum of all its parts, everyone -- moderates and extremists, and everyone in between -- all of us together, not just the johnny-come-latelies who can scream the loudest or toss out the most-f-bombs. Did you catch that?

At best, political parties are a mixed bag of people will not be shoehorned into your narrow vision of rigid idealism. No one should be required to pass a litmus test or agree on every point. We'll settle this argument at the ballot box when the people speak with the power of their vote. I don't need to tell how that works, that would really be too cruel, yeah?
