Reply #60: Not trying to divide us ...

[JoePhilly]

DU is well known for fighting itself.

And let me give you a simple example.

I made a post the other day regarding how much the right wing hates basically every other country on the planet. They hate europe, russia, asia, India, Pakistan, South America, Mexico ... basically everyone.

Almost no one commented on it.

When I suggested that we as progressives needed to focus less on the specific issues we cared about as individuals and focus on what we all want to accomplish ... the thread exploded and I had folks attacking me for being anti-gay ... which is pretty ridiculous.

If you don't notice that some on DU are focused as much on fighting each other to prove who is the "most progressive" then you aren't paying attention.

My goal, to be clear, is to help progressives win elections. Because short of that, there will be no progress.
