150. No I am basing it exactly on your "team theory of politics"
You think the team is more important than principle. Lockstep or die is what it translates to. I have no loyalty to a party but to a principle and the Democratic party is closest to that principle out of the two parties. I will not put up with crap out of Democrats simply because they're Democrats. Your position allows for Democrats to do whatever the hell they want do long as they have a D after their name. It's not ethical, it allows for abuses, and it doesn't hold the politicians, who are supposed to work for we the people, to account for anything they do. It's exactly the attitude that allows them to talk like progressives while not doing a damn thing they promise and think that they can do so with impunity. The flawed position in this case is yours.
