59. I'm trying to figure out which Dems are Dems so I don't go bashing the wrong side on this issue?

Sometimes I’m not sure what No Bashing Dems Crew has as their endgame. Do we just passively digest what the Party, its representatives, and its pundits put in front of us? If so, I often find myself at a loss as to which Dems to side with. Or is the challenge not to challenge any Dem decision?
