79. "Moral purity" does not win elections.
Lord knows if it did, we'd never have seen guys like Nixon and the BFE in the White House and no liberal would ever be a loser. We also would not be in a place where we have so many jokes in the common vernacular about politics and corruption.

We Dems are (and have been for quite a while)lousy about proving our points to the voters. We just expect we can say "Vote for us we are morally superior" and it will translate into a win on election day.

Bad news, kids, it just doesn't work that way and taking aim on each other just makes it that much harder to win.
