22. Girl, don't you know? Only "they" (the ubiquitous THEY) are real liberals and only THEY know who

their fellow brethren are.

And it appears that the sole criteria to being a "real" liberal (at least on DU) is supporting politicians that got slightly more votes than David Duke would get running for dog catcher in Detroit. God, it is so easy to be strident, loud and shrill when you don't have to actually DO any damn thing.

If these folks were half as good at CONSENSUS BUILDING as they are at finger-wagging, carping, complaining and alienating, they might actually be able to get shit done instead of fanning the players on the field while they perpetually sit on the sidelines. But the recent weeks and the really blatant attempts at alienating women and people of color show that these folks have learned nothing and probably never will.
