I noticed that you scrupulously avoid defining exactly what/who you mean when you say "the DP". Indeed, being slippery about this is very important; otherwise you will not be able to invent silly strawmen to make cheap rhetorical points against fictitious opponents. Let us deconstruct this a bit. "The DP" could mean DP-1: office-holders, donors and power brokers of the Democratic Party. "The DP" could also mean DP-2: all registered voters, activists, volunteers and supporters of the Democratic Party. DP-2 represents about 40% of the entire voting population of the US. So you pull a nice bait-and-switch here. The DP-1 is obviously corrupt. Therefore it follows that anyone who wishes to engage with segments of the DP-2 is basically fraternizing with The Enemy. Some logic this. -raghu.
