"The party's divided." -Andrea Mitchell

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Take a hike, Ms. Mitchell. We're a big tent with room for everybody from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Conor Lamb, from Joe Manchin to Kamala Harris.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Conflict gets more viewers. The media like conflict.

[roamer65]

2. My 3 least favorite MSNBC hosts.

1. Chuck Todd
2. Andrea Mitchell
3. Tweety

[kimbutgar]

7. I'm in agreement with you in those three

The Toad is such a phoney and Andrea is such a corporate repuke.

And all three are out of touch with the reality of the American working class. They have no clue but their inside the beltway bs.

[alwaysinasnit]

31. Corporate repuke. I like it, especially given that she is married to Alan Greenspan.

[katmondoo]

18. I am with you

[oberliner]

28. Who are your 3 favorites?

[Power 2 the People]

3. I wonder who Mrs. Greenspan is really rooting for?

[haele]

17. Well, she's rooting for the corporatist elite.

She doesn't care for the Religious Reich, because the majority of them are so eagerly uncouth and just a bit too huckster new money.
The democrats are the party of uppity servants and artists, so anything she can do to depress their vote is what she'll do.

Haele

[Hortensis]

30. Republicans in power serving the wealthy, of course.

[empedocles]

4. The Democratic party is divided.

Betwixt the big tent pragmatics focused on the November election, and the broad agenda purists.

[JCanete]

22. bullshit. Where are the purists in the democratic party? nt

[elleng]

5. She's right, as anyone with eyes can see.

WE should have room for everyone, but just read here and how prevalent the divide is.

NO REASON to be vulgar, imo.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. I edited my post just for you.

[elleng]

24. Thanks

[emulatorloo]

11. I suggest you use your native intelligence and stop falling for "Democrats in Disarray" memes

From the MSM. It is a standard narrative they use to generate drama for ratings. The higher the ratings, the more money they can charge for ads.

Democrats are more united than ever regarding liberal/progressive policy goals and helping our fellow Americans. There is very little daylight between our 2018 candidates on policy. A little navel gazing and a little squabbling over strategy at DU is not reflective of where Democrats are. We aren’t divided.

[Squinch]

14. I'm not seeing a divided party. I'm seeing a few people TRYING to divide It.

But I'm not seeing a divided party.

[peggysue2]

19. Neither am I, Squinch

I see a coalition moving in the same direction into November. There are exceptions, of course, and they will be remembered. But for the most part, we have members on the Democratic left, right and center, we're picking up independents and moderate Republicans (particularly women), all of whom recognize the true danger of the Trumpster and his enablers. These are all people who want to preserve the Republic before we enter into intra- and inter-party squabbles over . . . whatever.

The headlines to the contrary tend to muddy the waters. We have a damn good shot this cycle. Let's not blow it or let an Andrea Mitchell dismiss the opportunity.

Btw, my autocorrect always wants to turn you name to--Squelch.

[Squinch]

20. Even here, where we are not known for our unity,

the divisive threads for the last few weeks have been met with a lot of, "shut up and go away, nothing matters but the D" replies. Which is heartening.

I have a friend named Gerry. Spell check always wants to name him "Germy."

[uponit7771]

37. +1

[PufPuf23]

15. Appears to me that there is more of a divide at DU than

between Democrats out and about in regular life.

Hope this perception is reality come election.

[elleng]

23. I hope so too, Puf.

[awesomerwb1]

6. Stop it everyone

2 0 1 8

We can *itch amongst ourselves after we take back the House in November.

[qazplm135]

8. she's right

at least historically. the question that remains is will that continue into this upcoming election.

Jury is still out.

[Squinch]

16. I lulzed.

[beachbum bob]

9. Overall bullshit message trying to do what Russian bots in 2016

We are not taking the bait. Fuck the elite, we are coming for you too

[workinclasszero]

26. Bingo

[maxrandb]

12. Crypt Keeper say what?

[MagickMuffin]

13. Does she EVER mention the republicons being divided

Of course not, that is her base!

[NurseJackie]

21. No... just some malcontents who like to smear the party and attack Democrats.

"The party's divided." -Andrea Mitchell

No... just some malcontents who like to smear the party and attack Democrats. What I'm trying to say is that it's a mistake for Andrea to jump to that conclusion based on loudmouth haters of the Democratic party (ie: Sarandon and others whom I have ZERO respect for).

Andrea should know better. There will always be a kooky fringe element to ANY party, and it's a mistake to let those people define the entire party or to assume that their personal anger and divisiveness indicates that the entire party is divided.

[workinclasszero]

25. What about the Koch bro branch of the GOP

being pissed at Shit45 and saying they could work with democrats Andrea?

No GOP split there? No stories about that? Hmmm...

I sense a damn obvious republican bias!

[tonedevil]

27. In what I would consider a unique plot twist...

the party is actually reasonably united in our distaste for Mrs. Greenspan.

[Eyeball_Kid]

29. No doubt, Mitchell will harken back to HILLARY as the one who caused the fictional divisions.

Mitchell's always ready to find a way to blame Hillary for who knows what.

[Iliyah]

32. Andrea Mitchell hates with

passion HRC.

Dems are not divided and is united. GOPers know this and will do their best to tell us otherwise. In the meantime, seems like it's the GOPs that are in disarray.

[jrthin]

33. And, Mrs Greenspan should take that hike off a short pier. nt

[AlexSFCA]

34. the new mass media narrative - dem party is divided

this is largerly a made up narrative originating from RW and its purpose is do undermine 2018 elections. There aren’t any significant tensions between Cortez wing and the rest of democrats, we agree on at least 90+% of the issues. The label alone is not sufficient to divide. The question media should be asking, what is the difference between Cortez and senior dems when it comes to issues?

[Mike Nelson]

35. There are always...

… factions in a political party. The Democrats are winning with red-state moderates and blue-state progressives! Andrea Mitchel has enough experience to know this - maybe she meant Republicans are divided? They have some serious division problems. Please send this thread to Andrea Mitchell, so she can make the correction.

[Cha]

36. "But her emails".. Andrea Mitchell24/7

[GoCubsGo]

38. Awwww! Bless her heart!

If you want to see "divided," Mrs. Greenspan, I suggest you take a look at your own party. The GOP, what is left of it, is more divided than ever. ut, we all know you won't.
