They seem to have forgotten for a moment that Buttigieg is a democrat.

That's the sort of crap they normally reserve for republicans. Glad they straightened that out.

It always surprises me when people don't seem to know the extent that the Left side of the political spectrum brutally cannibalizes itself on a daily basis. Progressives hate Liberals because they think they're Centrists. Far-Left factions think Progressives don't take direct enough action, and if you really want to see a group of people that cannot agree on anything, watch a group of Communists attack each others' credentials. "You haven't read the right books!" Then you have the Democratic Socialists, whom the hard Socialists think will never accomplish anything meaningful.

But, after 20 years of Fox News putting the "Socialist" label on Center-Right Liberals, the "Left" is just one big amorphous blob.

In short, if you think Democrats won't attack a Democrat, hoo boy.

Yeah, but they won't do it right: with guns.

Flint,

Could you recommend something as a reference? Online blog or something similar? Something you read online regularly? Something quick for you to post?

You have made some good points but it's still your opinion. It's counter to what I've observed. I do read things that are completely opposite of my opinion but have not seen examples as you have described.

Democrats who supported Hillary in the 2016 primary, and Democrats who supported Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primary. Anything that any one of them has ever posted, anywhere; any article in any paper that's ever been written about it; anything that mentions either one of them, to this day.

Start there?
