Current Events > Liberal Democrats are waging war against Moderate Democrats.

(+) Yeah! (+)

This will allow Trump to win you idiots.

theyll realize that the morning of november 4th, 2020
---

"With us or against us"-ism.

---

Nah
---

We always have to gather round and pledge loyalty and fealty to a Republican lite corporate whore candidate. You never hear this about anyone else.
---

It's quite difficult to win against a group of people who have no standards, I guess.
---

because some people value doing what they think is right rather than "winning".

this is precisely why the republicans are winning as well. they rather win than do what's right.

This is the way primaries work. It doesn't mean anything about the general election.
---

Every time I hear this it makes me think that whoever's is saying it has never seen a primary before

I think you mean liberal democrats are waging war against far right-wing politicians who claim to be democrats for votes

You guys act more holier than thou than people do in the bible belt.

Either way Ive never heard the kind of stuff coming from his mouth from any other serious presidential candidate.

Gotta thank Reagan and his fascist cronies for appealing to the religious zealots turning the Overton Window right, allowing the tea party to form and rise in power during the early 2000s. And now we have the president calling Nazis "fine people"

It's almost like these same types of people didn't give a fuck that Hillary won the primary and still voted for Bernie anyways last time, giving people a real concern that history might repeat itself

I never understood this argument. Infighting didn't stop the Republicans from winning in 2016. I don't see anyone shouting "Little Bernie" or "Lyin Joe Biden".

1972 II: electric boogaloo

how are you differentiating "liberal" from "moderate" here?

Apparently moderates are PUSSIES because they think free college and healthcare for undocumented immigrants is bad.

Seriously lol

If you go back and look at previous Republican and Democratic primaries this one has been downright peaceful and smooth so far
---

Yeah. I called this immediately after the 2016 election. That party is at war with itself.
Republicans consolidate at the end of the day. The liberal dems want things their way or no way at all. Moderate dems aren't going to let those they view as insane take over their party and will never vote for one of them if made the candidate.

They essentially need to split that party between Dem and something else the really loony left can be a part of. Of course that splits the vote enough to let the Rep win but that's happening anyway.

The Republicans were straight up going after family members weren't they?

If dems split off into two smaller parties then the Republicans would win every election.

Hate Republicans all you want, they stick together in the end and dont essentially want to eat each other alive like Democrats do.

that's certainly not the word I would use to describe them, but I would say that anyone opposed to free healthcare and education is either uninformed, an awful person, or a corporate shill (strong overlap between the last two)

if they started using popular vote to determine the president then the republicans would have to change or lose every election

People keep saying this and I don't see it tbh

Again this reeks of people not knowing how primaries work
---

Conservatives accept moderates.

There shouldn't be this much angst against them.

Except, statistically, that didnt really happen

So which is it? He lost battleground states by a razor thin margin or not?
