The absence or suppression of anger over the corruption rampant in politics and government, the absence of shame for the corruption that exists inside one's own part, the passionate determination to put and end to said corruption by supporting politicians who aren't already bought, and the excitement over finding and working for those who can be trusted to clean the mess up.

The lack of interest in or concern for the direction of the Democratic Party, that other Democrats find to be the crucial issue of the day.

Leads to do nothing to change the problems: to going along with the agenda laid out by those in power who are pulling the strings.

Apathy.

Accusing those who object, who examine and hold their own party accountable, who resist being directed by a corrupt political process, of apathy is a really poor "attack." It can be spun both ways.

It might be more honest, and more accurate, to simply say,

"I don't care WHAT Democrats do once they're in office, as long as they beat the Republicans in the election," and "I can deal with hypocrisy and corruption from my government as long as it comes from a Democrat."
