Beware of sleazy "progressive" McActivism sweatshops that chew up young progressives...

33. "It's all about the donor lists, and the money. They don't care about community-building."

Of course it is. It's not about anything else. That's what it's always been about, and will always be about. It's no different from other door-to-door sales.

Why do you think .01% of donations to charities that claim to fight starvation (for example) are actually used to fight starvation? It's so that they can continue to claim to be a charity and can rake in the big bucks for their own pockets, taking advantage of the fact that people want to help others. It's a business, basically, and this particular business sells the idea of making your community better by promoting progressive causes, while also making great sums of money in the process (which is mostly given to people that don't need any more money).

They don't care about you. If someone were to get killed going door to door, they would just look at it like a broken cog that needs to be replaced (and usually very quickly). These places are businesses that view the main purpose of their activities as to make money.
