An Illustrative tale.
I live in Ohio 11.  Back when Marcia Fudge was appointed HUD secretary,  Shontell Brown and Nina Turner squared off in the primary for the vacant seat.  I was solidly on team Nina - she was LEFT, loud, brash & didn't take no shit.  She also had a long association with Bernie during his run against Hillary.  So, timewise, this was 4+ years after that campaign.  Time enough to process the loss and move on - or so one would think.

Hillary immediately endorsed Shontell Brown, less than 24 hours after she announced.  Soon thereafter, APIAC gave Brown the maximum contribution and set up shop in the area to engage in PAC outreach.  (Demographic note:  Ohio 11 contains the bulk of Cleveland's Jewish population, a good chunk of it's Black Population, and a few white suburbs along the periphery.)  APIAC immediately flooded the zone with anti Turner material highlighting every statement Turner made that could be construed as Anti Semitic.  Granted, it centered around the Apartheid statement which was gaining traction among the more left leaning Democrats at that time, so they had ammunition.  I live 2 suburbs over from the Jewish area and I was getting at least 2 mailers a week from APIAC - I got maybe 3 total from Brown's campaign and around 1 a week from Turner's campaign.  My friends in the Jewish suburbs got the door knockers at least once a week for the entire campaign as well as the mailers. All this for a Primary.

So, remember when I said "process the loss and move on"? 

I was reading an article on Wonkette about the campaign. The piece was pretty even handed with a slight tilt towards Brown as the more moderate (read preferable) choice.  The article omitted that Brown was currently under investigation for steering some minor contracts from Cuyahoga County (she had a seat on County Council) to her significant other's company as well as her refusal to resign her seat as chairman of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party during the race.  Fine, no prob. 

The comments, on the other hand, went off on Turner - all the APIAC charges, commie leftist radical, blah, blah, blah.  Then they started in on her association with Bernie and we were off to the races.  At this point, I weighed in and posted "I keep Seeing Hillary's Britches telling the Bernie supporters to "Get Over It".  So my question is - when are YOU going to "Get Over It"?  Do you see my tactical error?  I'll wait.

A gang  of Hillary supporters jump all in my shit for being sexist and misogynistic for getting anywhere near the word "Bitch".   (Gee, I thought It was a clever Pantsuit pun. (/s))  They continue on, weaving in calling me a BernieBro, and all the usual H.R.C. grievances.   I finally responded, explaining the pun, and admitting to purposely incorporating the B word while not apologizing.   I continued that I was not a BernieBro, and that while I had voted for him in the primary because he aligned closer to my core politics, I voted for Hillary in the general because I knew the stakes.  I then took them to task for their general Britchy tone and the continuous attacks on Bernie and his surrogates, finishing with "Now back to my original question - when will YOU get over it??"  That took some of the wind out of their sails, and there were a few posts about reporting me to the moderators for sexist language.  They never addressed the initial question and I never heard anything from the moderators. 

So, What's my point?  While the Republicans are in full tRump thrall and irredeemable, (I agree with David - we have to get rid of these people) The Democrats are controlled by the same corporations/lobbyists that had a stranglehold on the R's pre tRump.  I really don't want to both sides it, but we have some housecleaning to do as well.
