You didn’t address my comments about dissension. Also, I’d guess that a majority of people who are a part of both parties do so because there are only two options so they pick the one that aligns with most of their values. That doesn’t mean the party or it’s leaders represent all of every persons values. That would literally be impossible. BeCause of this, your generalized insults don’t make logical sense.Understood but it is better to support those in the Democratic Party that dissent against policy you disagree with rather than demonize all democrats for initiatives that only a fraction support or propose. If polarization keeps up our system will be in ruins. We are getting close to that right now. Dissent from within is healthy and should be encouragedWhen you make an enemy out of them like that you just did you contribute to the polarization. I’m not a fan of either party, but I also understand that there are millions of good hearted Americans who are free thinking members and not all are partisan hacks. There are diverse opinions in both parties. We need to stop polarizing and dividing by labeling everybody by the actions of a faction. It’s not honest or productiveSE Cupp: How I felt watching Trump hug our flag (opinion) - CNN
I hope some folks on USMB find this as interesting as me. I think SE Cupps second to the last paragraph sums up succinctly what happens daily on USMB.
There are no "purity tests". The Democratic Party has become a well-defined, foreign-influenced entity diametrically opposed to the US Constitution, and with which there is no longer any common ground between it and actual Americans.
Compromise with them is ultimately capitulation. They need to be removed from political power.
Neither am I a fan of political parties, but since we have them, I will call them as I see them. Polarization is no concern of mine.
Diverse opinions are great. Opinionate all you like. But don't try to legislate nonsense that has a chilling effect upon personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution.
It is not acceptable, nor open to negotiation outside the process mandated by the document.
No American can in good conscience remain in the modern incarnation of the Democratic Party or be supportive of it. Their intentions have become quite clear these last two decades.
