I like the big tent, and I can "deal" with people who do not agree with me on every single piddling issue. If they vote the right way on big picture issues like choice/equality/social security and safety net issues, I'm OK with differences, even if I am personally disappointed about specific matters and things don't always go my way. You're apparently not.
Complaining is not going to bring comity, and calling people who don't think like you do in every single respect (even when they share 90 percent of your agenda) "vipers" is really unhelpful and lame--it's divisive, and unnecessarily so. You can play a "your way or the highway" game, but it will be you hitting the road--and that's fine if you can't "deal" with the reality of compromise. Most people who stick with the party know enough to take the long view.
