Nemesis: Demos ‘Eat Our Own’

Democrats are a strange bunch.  … We’re not usually very effective in our political campaigns and we waste tremendous amounts of passion and energy chasing these side issues instead of going for the prize with a single minded focus. We call each other out, in public, and we gang up and run someone down if we feel they stepped over the line and are now undeserving of our support.  We don’t privately chastise our neighbor for their bad behavior … no … we loudly give as good as we get, a massive public catfight that usually fractures our unity and amuses our opponents to no end/Nemesis, ” We Unabashedly eat our own .” And: 43rd State Blues comments thread that led to Binky Boy’s ouster .
