MODERATORS
TBH this is one of the left's major flaws in general, in my opinion. The right will generally all glom together on an issue even if it's not 100% what they want, just as long as it's pushing things in the general direction they want. The left tends to be like herding cats, even if you can get a decent amount of people behind an issue, it'll inevitably split over some relatively minor disagreement and then the two sides will spend more time fighting each other than moving the general cause forwards.
The big issue with that is the right wants oppression and all the people that vote for them never think they will be under the boot until it happens. Unlike leftist, they know they will be under the boot the moment it's convent for the liberals to do so. So they fight.
