(50,950 posts)to do with pride. This has to do with numbers.
The complaints come mostly from a fringe of the party that fancies itself more progressive, but actually tends to demand that their economic wants take precedence over civil rights issues which they consider "fringe" because they don't directly apply to them.
If we appease that sliver of the party, the one that tends to say things like "appease me or else get used to losing," then we DO lose the most loyal segments of the party.
And not for nothing, that asshole wing keeps threatening that they are going to take their ball and go home, again, as Democrats since 2016 win election after election and turn red places blue one after another.
So they can threaten all they want, but the serious people are out there working - and by the way working from the most progressive platform that has ever been created- and winning and they aren't home to hear the threats.
