This isn't "internal recriminations." It's voters expressing overwhelming opposition to what the people they elected to represent them are doing, and anyone--either in journalism or politics--who characterizes it as infighting is either not seeing and hearing what's right in front of them or lying.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

The funniest thing to happen now would be for Joyce Carol Oates to win the Nobel next year for her tweet. The least funny thing to happen would be Elon getting so incensed that he buys Warner Brothers and makes the Animaniacs anti-woke.
