(47,803 posts)The first 3/4 of you post I agree with.
So why the hell bash people who agree with that, but also have legitimate concerns about the performance of Obama and Democrats, but who -- when push comes to shove -- support them over the GOP?
And whether or not one gripes on a message board is not a measurement of what they do or don't do in the rest of their lives. Some people who you say are trying to "divide" Democrats are true-blue party loyalists, but who also feel it has strayed off course in various ways..... Some work in the poliical system as you say and/or donate to Democrats (including Obma)..... Others support the ideals they profess in ways that are not within the partisan context........And yes some are "armchair warriors" and there are scattered trolls.
But painting everyone with such a broad and shallow brush undermines the spirit of "unity" that you are claiming to want to inspire.
