Nice post, my good FRiend; however I would disagree only in that while the Dems/socialists/Marxists/Maoists/ other collectivists/anarchists/nihilists do have their internecine arguments, they are fairly obedient when it comes to coalescing around a candidate and almost any alleged cause (Bernie’s run notwithstanding).

I think that view was correct, until recently. Recall that the Democratic party had to spend over (as I recall) four million dollars to support their preferred candidates in the most recent California primary. The worry was that there were so many candidates that they might split the vote and allow two Republicans to run against each other. (This due to the fact that the top two contenders went on to the general election regardless of party. This bit of law was created when the Democrats were a monolithic party and they could control who ran. That is no longer the case.)
The Democratic party has been divided (as one Freeper put it) into the merely loony and the truly insane. Having lived off the votes of a coalition of victim groups, the Democrats did just fine. But now the victim groups each want one of their own to be the candidate. Blacks and LGBT’s, just to pick two from the mixed bag, don’t have the same agendas. Blacks have a black agenda and LGBT’s have a totally different agenda. They are not going to agree on a candidate. True, you might find a black transgender to run, but then what about the Hispanics, the “poor” and all the other groups? How many poor, black, transgender Hispanics are there?
Yes, the Dems/Libs march in lock step regardless of who the candidate is or whether the issue is right or wrong...they will blindly follow Chucky Schumer or Nancy Pelosi or any raving liberal media type. And, the Republicans fight each other.
