Why are there RINOs but no DINOs?

Democrats don’t trash their own party members for being “insufficiently” woke, a Socialist or a leftist, while Republicans routinely dismember their own party members for being “insufficiently” Conservative, anti-tax, anti-abortion and so on.

Republicans attacking their fellow GOPers as Republicans in Name Only (RINO) has no parallel stigma on the other side – Democrats in Name Only (DINO.) That’s because the Democrats have learned they win when they charge as a single fighting unit. Republicans are too often fragmented into warring factions.

Yet, we have Republicans who actually admit they would rather lose a seat to the Democrats than vote for a “moderate” Republican...

...  if you don’t vote Republican, you are helping the Democrats win. That’s just the naked mathematical truth...

Until Republicans realize and act on the knowledge that the Democrats are our enemy – not our fellow Republicans – and vote party not person (except for Pam Anderson of course) we will keep losing.
