Why do establishment Democrats get so triggered when a liberal criticizes the party? Is this tribalism boarding cultish behavior that anyone?

Who doesn’t fall in line with the party exactly how the party wants you too, must be an enemy? 

Help me understand this

Update:

Question mark dude....😂😂Yea, I’ll admit, I am a little triggered....Getting attacked and insulted for asking reasonable questions. How many times can one be called a trumpster for arguing that the party isn’t liberal enough... it is what it is tho 

Update 2:

Anonymous: 

so report me then if you think I’m lib bashing. Says more about you then it does me. That you are too weak minded to listen to anything that challenges your politics

Update 3:

Elwood: just check my profile history and see the comments.....On a National stage, the backlash Bernie and his supporters received as well as Tulsi who was labeled a Russian agent by the party for being against wars of regime change

    Cute now you know what Trump went through with the establishment of both parties.  His first 2 years he was trying to get the Republican establishment to actually do something other than just reforming taxes.  Soon, Biden will realize the same.

    Because people leaving the cult is worse for the cult than outsiders insulting the cult.

    Because they believe we should all be conformists, like the Republicans!

    It's also why no democrat has the balls to call out Trump's LIES directly!

    Because you said so ... this lib doesn't agree and consider your post a lib bashing rant violation. EDIT I did report it. The fact you think you're above the rules caused my diligence to act on my duty to self-regulate the forum. You're just blathering your opinion. Your inquiry is supposed to seek the unknown for you f/ us. You agreed to the TOS ... abide by them. Now I know your name, it gets closer scrutiny.

    Do you have an example of this?  Which establishment Democrat?  What criticism?  It's hard to answer in the abstract.

    I looked and you have a long list of questions and mostly anon answers.  No way I'm combing thru them all to find your example for you.  I tried a bit and found nothing.

    It's called Groupthink, and yes, they demand their thralls to conform, it's a part of the groupthink method they are brainwashed by. 

    Groupthink Symptoms

    Type III: Pressures toward uniformity

    Self-censorship of ideas that deviate from the apparent group consensus.

    Illusions of unanimity among group members, silence is viewed as agreement.

    Direct pressure to conform placed on any member who questions the group, couched in terms of "disloyalty"

    Mindguards— self-appointed members who shield the group from dissenting information.
