(17,931 posts)When oh when will we learn the difference between criticisms and attacks. Criticisms, in this context, are meant to make fellow Dems and Progressives better. To bring up valid points that need to be addressed. Attacks are thrown around by those who don't agree with us in essence and substance. Republicans attack Democrats because they don't follow our fundamental narrative or belief system. Michael Moore agrees with our fundamental narrative and belief system. Is Moore right all the time? Hell no, but neither am I and goddamn it neither are YOU!
The premise behind this is NO ONE IS PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not Barack Obama. Not Hillary Clinton. Not Bernie Sanders. Not Mahatma fucking Gandhi. We all benefit from well meant criticism. When we go off the rails, and we all do, it gets us back on track. When we're wrong, it points out to us why we're wrong. And if we've got one whit of sense, we recognize it's for our own good. One thing I love about the Democratic Party is we're don't do lock step, salute das fuhrer like Republicans. If one of our own is wrong about something, we will damn well point it out and NOT DO Republican, logical gymnastics to cover it up.
Damn it folks, politics is a human endeavor and has no room for cult of personality bullshit!
