Two Different Mindsets at DU

143. But what about

when your candidate shares 70% of your position and wins but only gets 30% through.

In reality--it's more like our candidates are NEVER 100% with us. We are lucky to start with 70%. Usually it's more likely to be 50%.

And then what actually happens, especially in this time of extreme rightwing obstruction--is that we're grateful for the 10-20% crumbs...while at the same time, we watch our gains of the past get lost and trampled.

Sometimes, as the Moral Monday people realized, you have to call for what is morally right--even if your chances of actually winning against exploiters are slim. It's the only way to demand a better deal.
To come out and say--"this is wrong."

But if you feel you always get 70% of what you want from your candidate....wow....I want to live there!
