No, Liberals Don't Control the Democratic Party

24. I prefer prostitutes vs true believers. It's so much easier to be a pragmatist when your so-called

principles are for sale. I don't mean to denigrate real working prostitutes in the sex trade. I find them much more trustworthy and respectable than politicians and their stooges. So I denote the others as prostitute-pragmatists to avoid confusion.

(That's assuming the prostitute-pragmatist had any principles in the first place, which isn't always a certainty. But that's another discussion.)

One of the things I have noticed about the prostitute-pragmatist is that they seem to become more convinced of the rightness of their behavior after they have been elevated by walking on the backs of those with less. I am guessing this is because then the only other people they see are also people who have profited at the expense of others with less, so they begin to think that everyone that's anyone is like them.
