115. The problem has never been that the Democrats were not open to different people. Quite the contrary.

We accepted everyone who wanted to be part of our party. That includes the far lefties as well as moderates. How many times did we have to appease Blue Dog Democrats by throwing them a bone to take home to their constituents, or a committee chair, because we needed their vote. What about Joe Liberman who was on the Democratic ticket as a VP nominee whose still screwing us over as a lobbyest. Sorry our problem isn't that we weren't open to different people. The problem is that when people don't get their way, (when the majority has spoken) they want to take their ball and go home like a bunch of babies.

Look at the GOP. How many times have they lost an election and we THOUGHT that they were dead and buried, only for them once again to emerge from the ashes to fight another day. But they have proven to be patient. They even make their members pass a purity test, and guess what; everyone in the party eventually falls in line no matter how batshit crazy their ideas are. The Mormons in Utah dug up someone no one ever heard of to run against Trump as a 3rd party candidate, or so we thought, because they couldn't bring themselves to vote for a pussy grabbing con artist, but in the end they all fell in line when the time came, with even Mitt Romney showing up to kiss the Donald's ring.

So spare me the bullshit that its the Democratic Party which isn't willing to accept people's differences. That's never been our problem. Our problem is that we just don't believe that if we invite someone into our home, they shouldn't try to take it over on their first visit if you don't agree with them, and they try to change everything that they don't like about it and say Fuck You, play by our rules, we're taking over, or we'll burn it down.
