Why are the democrats better at sticking together than republicans?

Conformity is king for them

Sheep do that.

Collectivism

“Collectivism was an important part of Marxist–Leninist ideology in the Soviet Union, where it played a key part in forming the New Soviet man, willingly sacrificing his or her life for the good of the collective. Terms such as "collective" and "the masses" were frequently used in the official language and praised in agitprop literature, for example by Vladimir Mayakovsky (Who needs a "1") and Bertolt Brecht (The Decision, Man Equals Man).[9][10]”

Pubs vote folks off committees

Dems kill those who stray off the reservation, see Kennedy's/Seth Rich

 

[Rusty Student]

They're morally bankrupt and no ability to think for themselves or stray off the reservation

Dems don't tolerate free thinking and expression from their members and must vote in lockstep with Congressional leadership.

@JordanPetersHorn can edify my response as needed, but I'd say 1 of 2 psychological components...either above average emotional + lack of impulse control and/or high neuroticism/fear. All coupled with below average locus of control.

Basically, they are generally the weak sticks.

Blackmail. They use it against republican also.

Also individuality and creativity isn’t important to them, it’s more about receiving love from their in-group(above average emotional).

They’re more happy that they think their policies are beloved by everyone(which is why they need to stamp out the other perspective so bad).

You read Ayn Rand too. Or if you don't - the above is right out of her philosophical playbook about the communist ideology.

The Dem voter base is by far the more easily manipulated. Plus, your Mark Twain quote nailed it.

Many people vote GOP because of a single priority issue while Dims expect conformity to their whole platform.
