it was to define the categories. It struck me, that this was part of the challenge.

To back up a little, what prompted the question was a response I got from a person who is a moron cult follower but he refuses to own it. He will say some semi negative things about the moron to dangle some hope and show, I imagine, that he is "in the middle" and worth engaging. He of course accused me of having a closed mind.

Obviously he is a waste of time.

Anyway that is an open question. Who is "a real Democrat?" And the follow up: who is worth engaging?
