You describe Begich and Pryor as "some Democrats" who "voted with rightwing republicans" and "MDA did not withhold support from two true democrats, they withheld support (if so) from two senators with diametrically opposing positions to theirs who voted against the very ideals the MDA group stood for."
"true democrats {sic}" that "voted with rightwing republicans" on a single issue
"To think that Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense would support those two who voted against their very principles & what they stand for, is somewhat absurd."- a group that supports Democratic candidates and principles would have stayed out of the race. A single issue group will step in and people who are single issue voters will place that issue over political allegiance and support the group regardless of secondary consequences.

because they, and I, are Democrats. I will freely oppose and condemn any "pro-gun" group that tries to unseat them because I support them as Democrats.
I wouldn't make lame excuses about them having different opinions than I do on one issue.
