General Discussion

The last thing the Democratic Party needs is its own Tea Party movement. During the primaries in 2010, Republicans had their own Night of the Long Knives in taking out any Republican who was deemed not conservative enough. That turned the GOP into the far-right hate-spewing entity that produced Donald Trump.

"take down weak Democrats" is exactly the same solution as the Tea Party did. The Democratic Party needs to reach out to the center in addition to the left, and we need to push the message that can appeal to all sides of the spectrum: the Democratic Party believes that government has a responsibility to help the people.

All Democrats need to come together during the general, but that is not the same as demanding that all Democrats think with one hive mind, which is what you're advocating.

That message kept people voting Democratic from Montana to New York to Georgia from the 1800s until 2004. We need to be a national party, not a party for the liberal elite.
