And that is why they fail.

The world is not black and white. There are no red states or blue states, only purple states. Southern Democrats aren't Republicans just because they live in the South. Liberal Democrats aren't suddenly Republicans because they think that Hillary Clinton is the best choice for the country. They're still liberal Democrats.

It must be nice to see everything in binary terms. We used to mock Republicans for doing so, but some on "our" side have proven to be equally narrow in view.
