We're taking casualties, but it's mostly of the suicide squad sort.
Along with a few who just get a little too hotheaded.
If you can't stand the chaff, you'll never get to the wheat.

I get too hotheaded for my own good at times!

I would say it goes a little beyond that. It is not enough to maintain we have to grow. The last election was not so much, "the base did not turn out" because the base did for the most part.
Where we lost was that we were so busy squabbling with each other that we totally neglected to outreach for those who could be swayed to our POV. In fact in many cases outreach of any type was labeled "Pandering" and cause for more squabbling. We have to stop doing this.
