The Democratic Party must be united, so stop disagreeing with me.

We need to be united. Stop posting things I don't like. Some may consider that our strength is our willingness to debate and change. They need to shut up until the emergency is over and unite in agreeing with me word for word. Some might think our strength is our willingness to question our heroes. Until the current emergency is over, this is not the right time to question the heroes that I love most. Don't you see that if we show any weakness, Fox news will say bad things about us. We can't have that now, can we? The only way to prevent Fox news from twisting the truth and making problematic issues sound like high crimes and misdemeanors is to be entirely silent and never ever say anything.

If we are united and ignore our own flaws, Fox news would have to make things up from nothing to turn into high crimes and misdemeanors. We all know they would never do that.

Especially don't admit that our side has any flaws to conservatives we know. They will instantly convert to our side and point of view if we don't show any flaws.

Eventually we might not even see these flaws and then we will win!

If Hillary feels the need to address criticism directed by towards her, I hope she will. But the continuous controversy about her and 2016 is unnecessary and not helpful. There appear to be legitimate problems with top down financing to consider. I think it would be helpful to ignored the names and focus on the very real flaws in process that had widespread effects. It is possible to do some introspective evaluation without overreactive criticism and defensiveness that keeps the primary competition going.
