Agree. Constructive criticism does not mean calling us "feeble" or "no better than the GOP". randome Apr 2017 #3

I'm done with it Cary Apr 2017 #4

As pointed out on another thread, Schumer appointed Sanders in charge of Dem outreach. randome Apr 2017 #5

I guess that depends on Sanders Cary Apr 2017 #6

He was booed lustily by his strident followers oberliner Apr 2017 #7

Don't make other people's argument for them zipplewrath Apr 2017 #27

Calling out the obvious and blatant BS isn't making an argument for anyone. synergie Apr 2017 #28

You're trying to complicate things Cary Apr 2017 #30

Thanks Cary NastyRiffraff Apr 2017 #15

Agree ...we need to stick together. K&R Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #17

All decisions in life boil down to yes or no, if you think about it. Cary Apr 2017 #20

"Stick together" Cary Apr 2017 #22

Agree. So well said. Justice Apr 2017 #25

Yep...someone likened it to herding cats. Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #29

A lot of people aren't going to like this analogy for reasons of their own Cary Apr 2017 #31

You are right... Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #32

Of course Cary Apr 2017 #34

Sure don't sow discord or discontent, but it is ok to voice it when it exists. aikoaiko Apr 2017 #37

Vote Democratic! Cary Apr 2017 #39

Yes, and talk about the good things and problems with the Democratic party, too. aikoaiko Apr 2017 #41

I see how sowing discord and discontent doesn't work Cary Apr 2017 #42

I see how not acknowledging discord and discontent doesn't work for Democrats aikoaiko Apr 2017 #46

I completely disagree with you. Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #48

Fair enough. We don't have to agree and we can both post our thoughts. aikoaiko Apr 2017 #49

It's not too much to ask people with shared goals to be positive Cary Apr 2017 #53

It's not too much to ask, but its too much to expect acquiescence. aikoaiko Apr 2017 #81

You don't get it Cary Apr 2017 #82

Who is your message for? aikoaiko Apr 2017 #84

What do you think? Cary Apr 2017 #86

I really don't know. I thought it was for DU members. aikoaiko Apr 2017 #108

Where is our energy best invested? Cary Apr 2017 #94

We sure can...cheers! Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #71

Just because you can doesn't mean you should Cary Apr 2017 #52

You straighten all that out during the primaries. Whoever wins you get behind... brush Apr 2017 #57

1000+ Primaries are to air out divisions... Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #89

I would think one would want to talk about how bad the Republicans are in order Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #44

I wouldn't think that. There are a lot of folks who lean Democratic when they vote, but... aikoaiko Apr 2017 #45

I believe criticism of the party...and everyone has a different idea... Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #47

I disagree. There is a growing set of voters who are more interested in issues/principles than party aikoaiko Apr 2017 #50

Open you eyes. Repugs keep their criticism behind closed doors once they have a candidate brush Apr 2017 #61

As someone once said Lincoln ("a house divided can not stand") Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #90

I absolutely believe we lost because of criticism...which confirmed what those on the edge Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #64

There are a lot of objective studies on this Cary Apr 2017 #55

I completely disagree with this statement or yours brush Apr 2017 #60

Yes indeed. I would argue that more than a few GOP types Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #63

Different opinions on some things but not on overall direction the party should move towards... brush Apr 2017 #58

I agree ....defeating Repugs is our first job...we can cross the 't's' and dot the 'i's' after Demsrule86 Apr 2017 #62
