I doubt we are gonna agree. IMO, these kinds of divisive attack are exactly what this party needs to be doing. The average American has a very difficult time seeing past the deeply ingrained frames that describe the Republicans and the Democrats, no matter how accurate they are. To be effective, we need to re-frame both what it means to be a Democrat and what it means to be a Republican. Republicans have been framing what it means to be a Democrat for 20+ years now, and they weren't subtle about it. And you know what? It was a very successful strategy, despite being extremely insulting.
