Reply #556: I think the core problem is accusing people who don't agree with your stance

[TZ]

to be "not real democrats". I despise the Republican party for many things..One of them is the way they treat moderates in their own party- either agree with the Conservatives or shut the hell up. I don't enjoy seeing people here behave the same way. I'm also not going to accuse anyone who might be to the left of me as being "troublemakers" either or tell them to shut up. Insulting liberals, progressives, centrists or even conservative democrats isn't productive. How the bleep is telling other party members they are stupid corrupt or troublemakers going to solve ANY goddamn problem.
I have no problem having a rationale discussion with someone who truly disagree with me. The problem is--too many people here can't seem to do that.
