I wasn't clear.  Some other posters got my initial posting removed because of my tart comment about their "high places" hero. And my comment quote, of course, went the  Neil Peart lyrics  and Geddy Lee's screechy renditions of them.

I was particularly appalled last year by the corporatist Debbie Wasserman Schultz's extremely hostile reception of and interference with Bernie's candidacy. The woman is poisonous and her shameful legacy lives on.

I don't think the party is "dead," but you're right:  It's certainly, inadvisably and unnecessarily divided.
