Do we now KIND OF understand how this adversarial relationship exists and WHERE this adversarial relationship might go?????

Seems pretty self explanatory to me. Many of us here are supposed to be Democrats - all in the same party, yet when we have different opinions - boy - do negative behaviors surface. To me, it seems when many favor a particular candidate, they are willing to turn a blind eye to much of the misdeeds of their chosen candidate. And in defense of being right and loyal(?) will disregard a direct contradiction in Democratic Ideals. Democrats may have a bigger tent, but they appear to have housed just as many or possibly more fools in the process.

What is the worth of winning? Surrendering our ideals and hopes to fall in order of the almighty "WIN"????? Does stroking our ego and "being right" mean more than honest evaluation? Would we accept some of the lies and behavior from our family/children?????------Wait who am I kidding. Of Course, it happens everyday.

My loyalty isn't a done deal, it is an ongoing and earned every day and if somebody shows that their behavior isn't worth my loyalty and respect I take it from them and if no one else is there to receive it then I hold onto it, because it is a precious gift not to be given lightly or blindly.

I don't want endless fighting, but I won't give a pass to a political leader that starts acting like the opposition either. ME winning isn't as important as retaining my conscience and integrity.
