(82,383 posts)the ones who say we are "authoritarians", not real liberals or Democrats - why does that get a pass. The ones who say Obama never gets enough, never does anything right, is a terrible negotiator, should have done this or that, is only speaking, or should be speaking at the bully pulpit. That he is a warmonger. Blah, blah, they get away with it and have been for years. That wasn't divisive?
They threatened to stay home in 2010. Go read 2009 DU and it will be easy to find them. They said they would no longer donate. They said they would never do any more campaigning (and their campaigning is the only reason Obama won). They when they get push back they are entitled to whine about it.
The ones who keep insisting over and over and over that conservative districts will elect "real progressives" (if they only just ran - but no, they don't have to run. They get replaced by tea partiers because that district is so liberal.
The ones who always blame the Democrats. Those are the divisive ones.
