(2,570 posts)most did, and I can understand why
the overarching point I was trying to make is of course, what transpired here.
I think far too often many of us lefties are too quick to judge the motives behind the complaints that have piled up over the last going on four years now, which leads to divisions on an interpersonal level and therefore potentially will make us collectively weaker numerically, since that could make the diff between some staying in the fold and say, voting green where they'll be accepted, since they make and share many of the same complaints.
and then of course, the intolerance over complaints also erodes the liberal status as the "tolerant" ones as well

I see it as undermining the necessary solidarity we're gonna need to beat back the rightwingnut hordes, and to bring BHO and the dem leadership more back in line with the base and their wants and desires, like with single-payer for example.
If we don't do it, who will? And a lack of complaining means no impetus for it on their part.
