3. While it's obvious ND-DEM has a cause

What is your point in mocking it? Amazon has done irreparable damage to bookstores, book publishers, and traditional distributors. That infrastructure will be gone when Amazon goes "full digital". And this doesn't even broach the issue of how Bezos is exploiting workers to conduct such a business. In the end he will offshore his ill-gotten gains, as all libertarians do, and he will make his escape to some Galt Island in the South Pacific.

If ND-DEM has the energy to pursue Amazon, why not cheer him on?

I'm starting to get disgusted by the mocking elite of "small tent" democrats - if they even really ARE democrats - around here. There seems to be a concerted effort to peel off any "margins" of the party - too socialist, too new age, wrong view on iraq, wrong view on snowden, anyone that can be mobbed without too much opposition.
