Do you want the Dem party to run more like the GOP where it's very much the way you describe?

I don't think the Dem party is as corrupt as the GOP, so they don't tend to stick to hard line beliefs.

I disagree with the actions of the entire GOP and those 8 dems but just thought I'd add perspective.

Yes. I'd rather have hardliners, or even tyrants, that care about humanity over the libertine fash supporters

While barring members might go a bit far, does the Democratic Party not have planks to its platform? Or is it really just anyone "not republican"?

Beyond that, the idea that denouncement of members is too divisive is kind of a lark on a place like Lemmy.

Yeah, they used to. It's really starting to be the "not Republican" party...

Super sucks, hope to turn it around though.

It’s a good point
