What Issues Do You Disagree With Your Party On?

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

Oh my, 7 straight Republicans?

Well, you see, when you are a Democrat without a 100% ideological purity, you tend to get called out as a horrible human being no matter how rational your arguments are and how caring you are on the other issues, as we saw yesterday.

This is a very accurate and insightful critique of the Democratic Party. Remember how, back in 2012, every Democratic candidate for president refused a hypothetical 10:1 ratio of spending cuts to tax increases for fear of angering the grassroots? Or how Democrats responded to their humiliating loss in the presidential election by arguing that their candidate was too moderate? Or how Democratic primary voters ousted one of their most respected senators for compromising too much (in favor of a candidate who claimed that rape is the will of God)? Or how the rabidly partisan Democratic Majority Leader in the House of Representatives lost a primary race to an inexperienced college professor because he wasn't ideologically pure enough? Or how the Democrats refused to let a bipartisan immigration reform bill come to a vote in the House of Representatives? Or how the Democratic primary has become such a hyper-partisan litmus test that the one-time frontrunner for the presidential nomination argued that to win the general election, he had to be prepared to loose the primary?

Oh, wait... it was the Republicans who did all that? Huh.
