You're right!! - and that's often evidenced by the signage at 'gatherings'. I notice the Tea Party has custom, individualized, signs --- the left has mass-produced signs, and buses in the parking lot.

If anything, it supports that idea. This "Unite Blue" is a group of people no one has ever heard of and that doesn't seem to do anything besides throw crap up on their low traffic website and tweet things. The Tea Party has a lot of members in congress, had candidates for president, shut down the government, caused the US credit rating to get cut, have successfully sabotaged the US economy for years, and have thrown a wrench into Republican politics that the non-insane members of the party are still trying to figure out how to deal with.
You spelled Obama wrong.

No, I just don't suffer from a mental disorder that causes me to be unable to process the most rudimentary of information and mistakenly direct all blame for everything bad that ever happens ever anywhere on one man.

Sure you do.

Except you think that guy's name is Republicans.

Nope. Not Republicans' fault that Obama lied about health insurance repeatedly. Also not Republicans' fault that we've spent the entire Obama presidency fighting a lost cause in Afghanistan. See how that works? Blame can be assigned to those who are actually responsible.

Nope, do you happen to have a link?

I think we just need to let the TeaNuts fade away. We certainly don't need to counteract them with BlueNuts, I too old for that.

More AstroTurf, just like the Coffee Party, the last attempt to engineer a liberal equivalent to the Tea Party.

Horrors!

Academics and activists. Can it get any worse? They probably all believe the Earth isn't flat and do things like sign people up to vote. And you know they read stuff don't you? They read those really big books at the library that no one else does. SMH. This country is going down the toilet.

One question: Which ones are authoritarians? Are they the ones insisting Blacks have the right to vote?
