(42,862 posts)... his words only cause division. What's "pretty obvious" is that he's not thinking things through very well, he doesn't pause to consider the consequences and the negative ripple-effect.
Just like our Union, the Democratic Party is imperfect and can always be improved ... but whenever anyone suggests that it's "broken" ... well, that just convinces me that they're not really serious, and that they're just going for the cheap-shot insult. (Aside from whatever entertainment value it may have, it remains unclear to me how anyone believes that such tactics will actually help the party... if indeed, that's their true motive.)
So even giving him the benefit of the doubt, at this point his greatest contribution to improving the DEMOCRATIC party would be for him to think before he speaks, or to simply keep his thoughts to himself (in my opinion.)

Hello Alerter: These are my opinions with regard to how divisive rhetoric and insults can damage our party's reputation and cause strife and distrust within its ranks. No party member or supporter has been attacked, I have expressed my feelings with regard to words and deeds and actions and how I believe they are mistakes and missteps. I've pointed out that in some cases a persons actions and words do not comport with their stated motivations and how that is puzzling. I've said nothing to insult any individual.
