you don't have to. But if everyone in a liberal movement has to pass some kind of purity test, that's a fantasy, and an unrealistic way to deal with a movement's progress. Are you against the Go Green movement in particular? I think it's a good direction to go in. Will they get everything they're asking for? Not a chance. But I, for one, am REALLY glad they're asking!

If you don't like liberals, you don't have to. Don't vote for them! Vote for the conservatives in the democratic primaries. But I like what the justice democrats are doing.
