If our goal is to win over the broader electorate in a purple state/district, aggressive "us vs. them" posts tend to alienate the very people we need to build a winning coalition.
We have a lot of work to do to bring voters into the tent for November. Posts that feel more like taunting than bridge-building create unnecessary friction within the party. I would love to see this energy channeled into more productive outreach --- like the block-walking or voter registration drives that actually win elections --- rather than internal conflict.
