In reply to the discussion: What I believe [View all]beerandjesus
(1,301 posts)There are 3-4 flame fests going on right now in which cali is being attacked for having the temerity to suggest that Terry McAuliffe might be slightly less than our best and brightest.
This OP is, indeed, about cali: In a calm and measured tone, it lays out why cali is vigilant about corporatism in the Democratic Party, and makes quite clear that it is out of love for what the Democratic Party represents and concern for the party's well-being. It's not apologetic, but it does operate on the common ground--people over corporations--that I like to think we all agree on.
Your posts, in contrast, seem to suggest that any utterances about the Democratic Party expressing anything but hearty and unequivocal support instantly transform the heretical utterer into a teabagger. I don't think that's healthy for DU or the Democratic Party, and I suspect you know it. I think disagreement on this board is not only good and healthy; I think it makes DU interesting, and keeps me coming back. But calling a member of your family a bagger is about as intellectually honest as comparing Obama to Hitler.
