     @glynmoody My current theory is that people left of center trend to do this because they see results. The GOP / right-wing know they're unpopular, don't care, they have a goal in mind and aren't going to be deterred by such things as disapproval or shame.

     But, going after other Dems / progressives causes action and gets results. Never mind that the cumulative effect is to repeatedly shoot the overall "team" in the foot, by golly they feel like they've been heard.

     I might be a touch cynical.

     @glynmoody Wow, that's bizarre. Disagreeing with it is one thing, but refusing to let it go in the face of the threat to democracy we now face is kind of shocking.

     @jzb does it get results? or just weakens the party?

     @glynmoody results in the sense that something happens. Not results in the sense that it’s useful in the long run.
