lol…are you seriously getting mad at dems for being too democratic?

You talk like people would just suddenly stop saving the world just because a person, who forgot to recycle that one time, agreed.

You don’t require to be all in the same car to drive to the same destination. Not all things must be a partisan.

Partisanship and coalitions are too black and white. It’s all based on agreeing 100% of the time. Just look at the right: Kissing the ring is a purity test. That is the opposite of democracy. It’s bound to failure for every reason you just pointed out: it overlooks way too much just to serve the most powerful few to keep it all in one party.

In fact if anything: this whole ‘everything needs to be a coalition and partisan’ is where a lot of the main issues started. People are way more complicated than that. You will never ever have everyone agree to all things all the time. In democracy disagreement is a feature. Not a bug. Dems are not wrong for breaking off and fracture. that is what democracy is. They can agree on some things and keep checks on other things. The meaning behind checks and balances. That’s by design.
