Nothing good comes to Democrats from divisiveness

[lies]

83. That's not gonna do anything

First, your post is extremely anodyne. If you wrote that using the same OTT and hyperbolic language that is allowed against Republicans, your post would likely be flagged, deleted, and you'd be banned from this thread.

Second, how about this:

In 2011 Party A tried to shut down a government office because it was supposedly biased against a certain segment of the population. Serious folks thought that was a weird claim, because it was actually run by several people in that segment of the population. Dozens of people from Party A voted to shut it down, but it failed. After it failed, Party A and Party B both told the press that the government office needed to be made impotent, and that maybe they could work together on that.

Fast forward a number of years.

Party B tries to shut down the SAME office.

Party A flips out, claims it means all sorts of nasty things about Party B, and fundraises on the back of Party B doing what Party A did a few years earlier.

If I make this ANY more specific this post will be deleted. I will be banned from this thread.

We can't even have a proper conversation about this, because people here will see it as an attack and move to silence it.

I know because it's happened to me. Twice.

If I wasn't into hypocrisy, and wanted to try and help the party be more consistent, I could EASILY use this example of a short-sighted attempt to gain political points at the expense of integrity as a way to illustrate my point. Except it would be deleted and that conversation would be forbidden.

If I remembered what happened in 2011, which many might, and saw what happened at a later point AND if I was a voter that was turned off by hypocrisy and wanted to vent, I would find myself attacked as being a traitor, or a Republican stooge, etc., etc.
