But calling out people who in no way reflect Democratic values, is what Democrats are required to do, IF they care about their Party. Blind support for wrong policies damages the party, as the 2010 election demonstrated.
And you are incorrect, Democrats worked very hard, despite their own disappointment to GOTV across the country.
But this is the problem, the constant attacks on Democrats from within their own party, the false claims such as this one, that they did not work hard enough to GOTV, despite the fact that had they not done so, Republicans would have swept that election.
Young people DO care, now more than ever, another misconception which shows how out of touch the party is with the voters. They care more than anyone, considering it is THEY who are the most affected by the policies being implemented right now in Congress.
As a Democrat, I will not support Republican ideas no matter who is pushing them, Republican ideas are bad for this country and should be fought constantly by the Dem Party.
I also don't support Republicans being appointed to a Dem Administration in critically important powerful positions. We have Democrats who are perfectly qualified for those positions. It plays into the Republican meme that Dems are 'weak on security and on economics'.
Right now, this is what right wingers are using to further promote the 'Dems are weak on Security/Economics' mantra. ' Even your Liberal President couldn't find a Democrat he could trust with our security'. This is BS and I don't get why we have so many Republicans in this administration.
