Until the progressives themselves are held to the same standard that they want for others, there will continue to be fights.
I think that anything that weakens support for the party at this time, has no place on DU.
I think that the constant attacks by the 'supposed' progressives on the party during the 2016 election helped elect the current nightmare.
No one at any time should say that the democrats are no better than the republicans or that they are two sides of the same coin. Any fake equivalency starting with smears about being 'neoliberals' to 'third wayers ' or whatever is NOT welcome.
Any who says we have to join THEIR revolution instead of being a democrat is now an enemy because they are dividing us when we cannot afford to be divided.
I'm still waiting to see the revolution attack republicans with as much determination as they attack democrats who aren't 'progressive enough'.
In todays America, all democrats are progressive compared to the republicans, libertarians, etc.
